My bad, should of thought to look there (but didn't).

Actually changing the :465: in
\LM\SmtpSvc\1\ServerBindings
to :25: seems to not cause any problems, ie the only port with MS's SMTP
server now running on it is port 25 which is about what I wanted and it
still works. Deleting it doesn't seem like such a great idea but doesn't
cause any problems that crop up immediately, the server can still send
mail no problem.

So. if you have this problem the solution is easy. Go out and spend $50 on
the IIS Resource Kit, ISBN 1-57231-638-1 and install metaedit.
