Oh, terrific: I restarted the box and Server Admin tells me that
SMTP in and out are Running, but I know incoming is not. Then I
restart the mail server using the Terminal and Server Admin tells me
that both are now stopped (other smail services 'Running' as
expected). Then I use Server Admin to stop the mail service and the
previously Stopped SMTP incoming and outgoing services are now
'Shutting Down.' ;-/ Nice one.
I restarted Server Admin and all services are now shown properly as
Stopped.
No wonder some of us get confused.

Ok - that's telling.

What does:
cat /etc/postfix/master.cf | grep smtps
come back with ?
