Tod,
In the web interface...
Network Tab -> External SMTP Smart Host:
There are 6 "SMTP..." settings. No need to edit the rc,conf file if you are
using the web interface for external SMTP relay support.

The Edit tab allows many services to be restarted/reloaded as you mentioned.
Both the Network tab and System tab support a "System Reboot", in addition the
System tab supports a scheduled reboot within the next 24 hours.
When using the web interface, and you need to define variables that the web
interface does not directly support, click on...
Network Tab -> Advanced Configuration: -> User System Variables: {Edit User
Variables}
This edits the "/mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/user.conf" file. When concatenated with the
other rc.conf.d/* files, it overrides any previously set variable(s).
Also, when using the CLI, keep this in mind:
