I don't think it matters how we state the "root of the problem". The 
problem seems to be that even though there's widespread use of port 465 
for SMTPS, there is also a widespread conflicting use that is officially 
associated with that port, and there's really no way that the two can 
coexist gracefully.

So we really need to use a different port for SMTPS.
