  SMTP is Simple Mail Transport Protocol which is what Sendmail, and
  every other E-mail server on the planet, uses to send E-mail. It's
  not a "server" or "daemon", but the "service name" as taken from
  /etc/services is smtp.  That is what tcpwrappers uses to know what
  port to block.

  For example, I assume you're running OpenSSH, but you only put SSH
  in the hosts.allow and hosts.deny files because that is the name of
  the service.
