  Local Mail Transfer Protocol
  LMTP
  
     <messaging, protocol> (LMTP) A protocol designed as an
     alternative to ESMTP for cases where the mail receiver does
     not manage a queue.  LMTP is an application level protocol
     that runs on top of TCP/IP.  It was initially defined in
     RFC 2033, and uses (with a few changes) the syntax and
     semantics of ESMTP.  It should be used only by specific
     prior arrangement and configuration, and it must not be used
     on TCP port 25 (the SMTP port).
