I am trying to understand how SMTP uses ports.
Ultimately I want it to work through a SSH tunnel.

Normally SMTP uses port 25 but in some cases it uses 1025.

in what cases? there is port 587 designed and reserved for message
submission via SMTP.

According to
http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers
1025 is assigned to blackjack! (blackjack?) So what
is SMTP doing with it?

not SMTP. maybe someone put smtp on port 1025 but that's his/her problem.
