I had not seen them.
Note there are 2 ways of measuring MTA use; the number of servers visible
and the volume of email that they carry[**] and the latter is probably
more interesting, but is harder to measure - but (IIRC) some guys at Southampton
tried.
[**] Message counts is what I mean, I can't see the point of measuring bytes.
Note that an individual message will normally pass through at least 2 MTAs.
