Why is iptables configured to accept packets on ports 50 and 51?

[root@hwdltsaloli ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/iptables

/etc/services says:

re-mail-ck      50/tcp                          # Remote Mail Checking Protocol
re-mail-ck      50/udp                          # Remote Mail Checking Protocol

la-maint        51/tcp                          #
la-maint        51/udp                          # IMP Logical Address
Maintenance

Google turns up RMCP is a simple lightweight DP protocol for checking
if you have mail on a server

A quick Google search failed to turn up what is "IMP Logical Address
Maintenance"

Why is this in the default iptables configuration?

Thanks,
Aleksey
