Personally I think this was a mistake. SMTP is port 25, SUBMISSION is
port 587. If something says SMTP, what comes to mind is port 25, not
587.
$ grep smtp /etc/services; grep submission /etc/services
smtp 25/tcp mail
smtps 465/tcp # SSL-wrapped SMTP
submission 587/tcp msa # mail message submission
submission 587/udp msa # mail message submission
