Thanks for this. It'll help us to support our choices during our current 
service review.

But, everyone knows that qmail is the most popular mail server. Don't they? 
;)

Oh, I see. Qmail is a toaster. Well, that would explain why my Plesk VPS 
has such crappy email reliability!

Seriously though, Qmail in Plesk doesn't identify itself, so perhaps it 
does fill a good proportion of the 50% of servers that don't identify 
themselves.

It's interesting to note that the survey shows more than 50% of Exim users 
are using a recent version (4.63). I guess the updates since then haven't 
been significant to most people. All but about 4% are on 4.50 or above. 
That compares well with Sendmail, Posfix and MS.
