I would think Postfix is more popular than Exim.

Could be. I'm just not aware of them.

No, those won't help you.

If you have a vps, the first thing you need to do is study up on Linux
Administration and security. Otherwise you're leaving your system wide
open to all kinds of problems.

And a word of caution - I have several VPS's. They are not for the new
nor the faint of heart. You have more options available, but they take
significantly more administration - especially if you're going to have
customers on it. And your control panel will only do the most basic of
it. It won't, for instance, upgrade your OS or other products. You
need to do that yourself.

And there's a lot of manual configuration which needs to be done to have
it work well.

And your control panel won't help with features like what you're looking
for. For that you'll have to find where your MTA stores its logs (and
what MTA it is) and write code to parse your log file for the
information you want.

There aren't any reliable stats, but the best approximations are that
Sendmail, Postfix, Exim and qmail are the most common Open Source
MTAs, in that order. Postfix is particularly common on small/medium
installations as it's relatively secure (compared to Sendmail) by
default and the standard installation is pretty good for most
purposes. However, Exim is much more common on "enterprise level"
servers (ie, those used by ISPs, large webhosts, etc) because it's
more flexible than Postfix and more secure than Sendmail.

So, if you're specifically comparing Postfix and Exim, it's probably
true to say that Postfix is found on more servers, but Exim handles
more mail overall. The same is true when comparing Exim and Sendmail -
Sendmail is on a lot of servers because it's still the default MTA on
a lot of Linux installations, but most of those will be small webhosts
that don't send or receive much mail. Administrators of machines that
do handle significant amounts of mail will usually install Postfix or
Exim instead.

Thanks for the info, Mark. Quite interesting.
