No ma'm, they're qmail users.

ps - qmail's outbound mail handler qmail-remote process doesn't use esmtp on
client side deliveries (when sending) - qmail only advertises and accpts
esmtp when accepting inbound email. DJB recommends qmqp for outbound email
as a matter of fact. Of course Mathias Andree tends to disagree with all this
