Indeed, 587 is the standard port for mail submission.

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2476.txt
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5068.txt

and since "submission" is found in /etc/services (at least on recent 
systems), one can use it in firewall rules...
It is also hoped that future versions of MUAs will be 
submission-friendly (propose this port and check whether STARTTLS and/or 
SASL AUTH is needed, ... etc).

In addition, the service is already defined in master.cf. one just needs 
to uncomment it.
