Local Mail Transfer Protocol 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). (2002-03-09) | |

Loglan human language designed by James Cooke Brown in the late 1950s. Most artificial human languages devised in the 19th and 20th centuries (e.g. Esperanto) were designed to be easy to learn. Loglan, however, is unique in that its chief design goal was to avoid synactic ambiguity -- the kind that arises when trying to {parse} sentences like "The blind man picked up the hammer and saw". Loglan is thus the only human language unambiguously parseable by a formal grammar (assuming you count Loglan as a human language; its grammar is not at all like that of any natural human language). Most later development on Loglan continued under the name "Lojban". The Loglan Institute, Inc. is a non-profit research corporation. Loglan is apparently unrelated to the programming languages {Loglan'82} or {Loglan-88}. {Halcyon Loglan (http://www.halcyon.com/loglan/welcome.html)}. {Helsinki Lojban (http://xiron.pc.helsinki.fi/lojban/)}.
