Here we go again.

There are two email facilities generally available on z/OS:
one with a JES interface, customarily called SMTP; the other
with a socket interface, customarily called sendmail.

RFC 821 et. al. describe Simple Mail Transfer Protocol,
abbreviated SMTP.  Its description more closely matches
the facilities of z/OS sendmail than of z/OS SMTP.

No need for controversy; merely clarification.
