From <http://people.debian.org/~ballombe/popcon/main/mail/by_inst>: 4 exim 680 642 32 6 0 7 postfix 320 308 2 10 0 If half as many popcon users have postfix installed as exim, and exim is the *default*, that's an awful lot of people going out of their way to install exim, isn't it? How many of those exim users would actually know the difference if the default was changed from exim to postfix, instead of from exim to exim4? -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
