Aye aye.  Should I make the change like this:

#smtps     inet  n       -       n       -       -       smtpd
#  -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes
submission inet n       -       n       -       -       smtpd
  -o smtpd_tls_security_level=encrypt
#  -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes
#  -o smtpd_client_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject
#  -o milter_macro_daemon_name=ORIGINATING

And then switch my clients from port 465 to 587?
