We won't find standards support for it: 465 for SMTPS was revoked by
IANA (in 1998!) and reassigned to another service. But as long as
AT&T (I know), Verizon (I think), and whoever else require it, we're
stuck with it.
No we're not. Nor should we support it. The standards-based
alternatives are available and should me used.
Sigh. I went around and around on this when I implemented it. The reality
is a) there are some ISPs (not just AT&T) that it's the ONLY thing they
implement, and b) pretty much every other MUA supports it.
