um no..
that will only break the port number resolution and a reboot is not necessary.
the file you want to edit is /etc/inetd.conf
and then tell the inetd daemon to reread its configuration file
kill -HUP `cat /etc/inetd.pid`
in openserver 5.0.5 you will be running mmdf or sendmail
as the smtp daemon, which is for incoming mail. stopping this service is ok only if you don't want any incoming mail.
