I've been hanging out on comp.mail.sendmail recently, and it's
noticeable that there is a fairly high proportion of FreeBSD users
posting there compared to fora for some similar software packages.
But then exim-users at exim.org (for example) has a relatively large
proportion of Debian users. I guess that just reflects the tendency
to use what the OS provides if you don't have an overriding reason
to use anything else.
