/etc/services says:
re-mail-ck 50/tcp # Remote Mail Checking Protocol re-mail-ck 50/udp # Remote Mail Checking Protocol
la-maint 51/tcp # la-maint 51/udp # IMP Logical Address Maintenance
Google turns up RMCP is a simple lightweight DP protocol for checking if you have mail on a server
A quick Google search failed to turn up what is "IMP Logical Address Maintenance"
Why is this in the default iptables configuration?
