465 is urd and submissions and igmpv3lite (here). But since MTAs do not look out for smtps (instead of 465 for SMTPS we now have RFC 8689, SMTP Require TLS Option --- hihihi) it does not matter to also give SMTPS that MUAs may look out for (which normal mentally healthy user looks for submissions:// given he normally uses smtp:// even though that most likely is indeed submission or so, who knows, .. luckily my hairsplitting time has long passed). |There's a huge point here that I want to make explicit.
