I'm actually trying to get some numbers. Below the preliminary
results. It's a scan of IPs connected to our mailserver (in+out).
It will take a couple of hours to scan a statistical relevant
amount of hosts.

      2 Alt-N MDaemon
      2 Novell GroupWise
      3 Checkpoint FireWall-1
      3 Lotus Domino
      3 Trend Micro
      4 Exim smtpd
      7 IMail NT-ESMTP
      9 Postfix smtpd
     16 Microsoft Exchange
     17 qmail smtpd
     22 Sendmail
     41 Microsoft ESMTP
