Folks,
The 'alternate' port used for doing SMTP over SSL is 465. This appears
to be a well-established, de facto standard.
However it is not registered with IANA. The official entry for the port
is:
urd 465/tcp URL Rendesvous Directory for SSM
Given the importantce of secure SMTP posting across the net, it strikes
me that this documentation anomoly should get fixed, so that
administrators have the usual, official site to go to, to find out
correct port number assignments.
Thoughts?
