Firewall rules SMTPS unkown

[sjug]

Qubes OS version (e.g., R3.1):

3.2 RC3

Affected TemplateVMs (e.g., fedora-23, if applicable):

All

---

Expected behavior:

Can add hosts to firewall exclusions list that are a specific type of protocol and service port.

Actual behavior:

When we try to add 'smtps' TCP host to firewall, it fails.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open Qubes VM Manager
2. Open 'VM Settings' for any VM
3. Select 'Firewall Rules' tab
4. Select 'Deny network access except...' radio button
5. Press '+' icon to add new address to allow
6. Enter any host under 'Address'
7. Select 'TCP' protocol radio button
8. Select 'smtps' from 'Service' dropdown
9. Press 'OK'
10. Error, Invalid Service: Service 'smtps' is unknown

General notes:

If SMTP is port 25, SMTPS is port 465?
What service is 587 the port typically used for secure SMTP?
Can we add custom services to this dropdown list in firewall settings?

In addition to entering port 465, as Marek said, you can instead enter urd (URL Rendesvous Directory for SSM), which is port 465/tcp.
