As you noted, port 465 has been used as a well-known de-facto port to run
SMTP over SSL at many places. I do not think it would help anybody by
clarifying that it is a "non-standard" port here. This is not a place to
educate people on which port they should run their SMTP servers.
But I do not care deeply enough, and I can let it pass.
I have much more trouble with that "like 465" than I have with "non
standard".
If you don't like the phrasing, how about this revised patch? I call it a
"common SSL smtp port", and refer directly to 465. I think should make everyone
happy:
Looks really good. Thanks.
