I've seen comments from users/admins who recommend using SSL-only ports like
465, as opposed to 587 where plaintext is technically possible.

I've also seen problem where port 587 was blocked by antivirus trying to
scan the connection, where 465 went OK.

That's why I better provide both 587 and 465 on servers I maintain...
