>From the bottom of that page: Exim (465,731 servers) Version Number of Servers Percent 4.69 368,005 79.02% 4.76 36,227 7.78% 4.72 20,387 4.38% 4.77 10,824 2.32% 4.67 8,297 1.78% 4.63 5,689 1.22% Other 16,302 3.50% 4.69 was the version of exim that shipped with Lenny; squeeze shipped with 4.72, wheezy with 4.80. If these are indeed all Debian servers, that would mean that 79.02% of 44.23% of 45.88% of all MX servers queried by these people use a no longer supported version of Debian. (79.02%: all exim servers running 4.69; 44.23%: percentage of all identifiable servers that is running exim; 45.88%: percentage of all MX servers that is running an identifiable mail server) -- This end should point toward the ground if you want to go to space.
