Some of you may recall back in late 2006 we ran an international poll on

then Postfix, Exchange and some lesser know immaterials ... 

Your survey has a gaping flaw I'm afraid. For example, 100 nameless
people click on the Sendmail button because it came free with FreeBSD,
versus those of us who have fleets numbering the thousands of Exim
servers and he only gets to vote once. Oh dear...


Also, what about situations where there's multiple kinds of MTAs running
in a network?
