Hi, question for Tor exit relay operators. Do exit relay operators allow
connections to SMTP port 587 more than port 465?

The RiseUp webpage says “SMTP port 465 is often blocked by Tor exit
nodes but port 587 is less frequently blocked”
(https://riseup.net/en/email/clients) because port 465 is considered
deprecated (see RFC 8314). 

In practice do most exit relay operators allow connections to both SMTP
ports? 

Thanks
