INTRODUCTION The objective of Letter Bomb Transfer Protocol (LBTP) is to transfer simple opinions of disgruntled network users reliably and efficiently. LBTP is independant of any particular transmission or mail processing subsystem and requires only a moderately reliable mail transfer system. An important LBTP is its capability to relay these opinions across transport service environments. LBTP provides a non-verbal, easily understood response to any number of situations such as mail systems who return non-decipherable error messages. 2.
