As I said, the *canonical* answer.  Sites that insist on running software that
does things in a non-standard way, and which can't support the standard way,
are on their own.  RFC2476 nailed down 587 for the 'Submission' port back
in December 1998, and RFC2487 defined SMTP over TLS the next month.  It's been
*6 years* for the vendor to Get It Right, and for users to deploy it.
