Interesting article, but this doesnt represent much of the net as they 
even admit, also certainly doesnt reflect the state of this country.

Those figures are completely flawed, since theres a damn sight more 
than 20K plesk boxes out there alone, not to mention all the other MTAs
running qmail without plesk and since qmail and vpopmail are superior 
to anything in the hosted domains world, I can't beleive those figures
for qmail at all, thereby voiding the other results.

The only way they can really do it, is to spend a month testing every 
domain, results without dupe IP's showing close as unique as we 
can really get. If the claim they can test 400K in a couple of hours no 
reason they cant do the lot in a month.  If its too hard, maybe they can 
ask netcraft.
