Curious what the majority uses for their e-mail server software for multiple clients (hosts) on your box(es).

we use exim because it comes preloaded with cpanel by default. :)

Are you looking at only Window's based mail servers, or all mail servers?

The selections seem to be be based on Windows platform. We use Sendmail on our Linux server. From my own personal view, I think more people use Linux/Unix servers than Windows :).

I think you will find IMail the most popular for Windows.
