Out of about 400,000 mail servers, how many do you think use open source
mail-server software like Sendmail or Postfix? Since most mail servers
announce their identity when you connect to them on TCP port 25, Ken

"Fingerprinting the World's Mail Servers" provides lots of interesting
information on mail servers around the globe.
