I determined it used udp by grep'ing "submission" from /etc/services.
Granted, I have absolutely NO idea why submission would ever use udp
but, at least on my Debian Wheezy workstation, it shows up as 587 for
both tcp and udp. That is why I included it in the original request.

I did not look up the rfc (RFC4409,
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4409.txt) or maybe RCH6409
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6409). My bad. Going to those I see it
has absolutely no mention of udp in them. However, I did a quick
search and found it mentioned other places for tcp and udp.

I did find mention of udp at stackoverflow, saying "In theory SMTP can
be handled by either TCP, UDP, or some 3rd party protocol."
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16809214/is-smtp-based-on-tcp-or-udp
)
and linking to various RFC's.

However, I know of no servers currently that use anything other than
tcp for submission. I may be wrong.

I think we'd be safe to include or not include udp. It is "Legally"
viable, but I'm not aware of any actual use.
