We won't find standards support for it:  465 for SMTPS was

No we're not. Nor should we support it.  The standards-based 
alternatives are available and should me used.


The link is rather old, last post is 12/31/2009, so I don't know if
AT&T is still supporting port 465 or not.

I can tell you that I have postfix configured (successfully) using port 487.

nmh delivers locally, and then postfix connects to AT&T.
