Hello, Am hoping that someone out there may be able to point me to a source of info on what the marketshare is of various mail servers on the internet? It would be ideal if there was something like Netcraft's survey of web servers.
The reason for my request is because I have this client who has installed a document imaging system that sends e-mails through our server, and the manufacturer is claiming that the reason this gizmo is not working properly is because we are not running MS Exchange, which they suggest is the "standard" for all mail servers. This client has at most around a dozen employees and an IT budget of $200 per month, and I am trying to justify telling the client that these guys are nuts for ever suggesting that they/we install Exchange. The copier installer at first told me that I needed to change the settings of our mail server to open relay, so that they could get the thing to work. You can just guess my reaction to that one. Apparently, the machine doesn't do any type of SMTP AUTH at all. Unfortunately, the client doesn't seem to know who to trust in this case. Thanks much.
