The Mail Transfer Protocol (MTP) is an obsolete network protocol used to reliably transfer mail. Request for Comments (RFC) 780, which defined this protocol, allocated Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) port 57 for MTP. This port is no longer officially allocated for this service by IANA.

“I have proceeded ... to prevent the lapse from ... the point of blending between wakefulness and sleep.... Not ... that I can render the point more than a point—but that I can startle myself ... into wakefulness—and thus transfer the point ... into the realm of Memory—convey its impressions,... to a situation where ... I can survey them with the eye of analysis.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
