I really hate statistics. I'd now like to see those numbers cross-referenced with the number (probably estimated) of developers and the number (another approximation) of users for each. I'm also curious as to if on the older packages, if they've found all there is, or if people just stopped

As much as I dislike Sendmail, the current version is secure I guess they haven't found any major security flaws with it *yet*. I hate sendmail, and its track record is less than impressive. But Sendmail is/has set the standard in SMTP, so you do have to give it that. Thanks Mike
