if you combine those stats with the last post from Tom, you can come to
the conculsion,
that there are too many Plesk servers out in the wild ;)

I think, fedora, redhat, debian and ubuntu aka the vendors, should have
the best stats about which MTA was installed most.
At least for the stats for Linux will be accurate as they can be.

I checked with fedora and they do a hell lot of statistics , but
unfortunatly not which packages got installed.
But maybe an email to the maintainers will solve this.
