SMTP is the actual protocol that internet email travels over.

napoleon.dynamite@techimo.com is an SMTP address
There are other mail transfer methods (X.400, CCMail MSMail (the latter two are obsolete) etc) but none of them work over the internet.

I heard some one the other day call SMTP: Sending Mail To People.
