 I apologize.

 I took the word "used" to mean "used on the Internet, in sufficient
 quantity to demonstrate global utility."

 We are, after all, discussing use on the global Internet.

 It seems unlikely that anyone is going to seriously suggest uucp or
 fido. (I don't recall the details of fido, for email, but uucp is too
 creaky to even discuss for modern usage.

 LMTP is simply SMTP on a different port.
