It's common knowledge that 465 *was* smtps.  A decade ago.  But it has
never gone anywhere, and it is way overdue for an "obsolete" tag.
Everyone actually caring about SMTP over SSL are using STARTTLS on
port 25 and 587.  The faster we kill SMTPS the better.  Keeping it in
current /etc/services and the like is only going to confuse people.

You obviously don't use a Blackberry with an imap(s) server.....

What does imap(s) have to do with 465/SMTP?
