    Uhhh... say what?

    Correct me if im wrong here... but Zimbra (as far as i know) uses postfix for Smtp, So I take it that all the zimbra votes are postfix votes too :P

    So I guess that makes postfix second only to exchange

    Spiceworks is an Opensource network management software. I use it at work currently for help desk logging jobs and printing out weekly reports to give my supervisor. Havent started using the inventory section full as yet but it scans automatically ur network and makes an inventory or devices that it finds.

    Spiceworks have a large community of IT professionals and it is this community that voted on the mail servers

    I see...

    Note the question that was asked.
    What email server do you use?
    If your users are running Windows local area networks, Exchange would not be a surprising answer.

    If you ask people who host email services or manage internet facing mail servers you may get a different set of answers.

    Zimbra and Postfix votes are apparently different.....I wouldn't take this poll too seriously though...I use Spiceworks for it's inventory features as well as the helpdesk.
