We have Stunnel receive the traffic on port 465 and 587 and forward on to 127.0.0.1 on port 25.

That seems odd. Why?

The whole point of having submission channels distinct from port 25 SMTP is to allow you to put different restrictions on inbound and outbound traffic. If they are just forwarded to port 25 looking like the loopback, you lose that capacity for nuanced access control and lose your ability to conform to the submission standard on submission ports.
