I've changed it and we'll see what happens.
FYI - SMTP is not running as a service. Sendmail is (I did a ps -ef and a chkconfig --list to verify).
SMTP is Simple Mail Transport Protocol which is what Sendmail, and every other E-mail server on the planet, uses to send E-mail. It's not a "server" or "daemon", but the "service name" as taken from /etc/services is smtp. That is what tcpwrappers uses to know what port to block.
For example, I assume you're running OpenSSH, but you only put SSH in the hosts.allow and hosts.deny files because that is the name of the service.
