| Although LMTP is an alternative protocol to ESMTP, it uses (with a |
| few changes) the syntax and semantics of ESMTP. This design permits |
| LMTP to utilize the extensions defined for ESMTP. LMTP should be |
| used only by specific prior arrangement and configuration, and it |
| MUST NOT be used on TCP port 25. |
