Richard,

I'd forward this to the Register If I were you, I think it would make a great 
friday afternoon story !

> So, I got a little booklet posted to me, with the manifestos of all the
> London mayoral candidates for the election next week, most of them with URLs
> and/or contact email addresses... and I got to thinking - I wonder who uses
> what for their web and email systems...  A bit of playing with netcraft.com
> and a bit of telnet to port 25, and here's some answers:
> 
> -----
> Frank Maloney - UK Independence Party
> Web:	Apache 1.3 on Linux, with PHP and Frontpage
> Email:	IIS on unknown (hotmail.com)
>  	Microsoft ESMTP Mail Service
> 
> Steve Norris - Conservative
> Web:	Apache 1.3 on Linux (Debian) with PHP, AuthMySQL, mod_ssl, OpenSSL and
> mod_jk
> Email:	none
> 
> Ram Gidoomal - Christian Peoples Alliance
> Web:	Apache 1.3 on Linux
> Email:	IIS on Windows 2000
>  	Imail
> 
> Ken Livingston - Labour
> Web:	none
> Email:	Zope (unreleased version, python 2.3.3, linux2) on Linux with 
Plone
> 2.0
>  	Exim 4.24 (on a machine called attlee)
> 
> Julian Leppert - BNP
> Web:	IIS on Windows Server 2003
> Email:	none
> 
> Darren Johnson - Green
> Web:	Apache 1.3 on Linux (Debian) with PHP, mod_ssl, OpenSSL and mod_jk
> Email:	none
> 
> Tammy Nagalingam - We Londoners?
> Web:	Spry-SafetyWEB-Server-NT on NT4 or Windows 98 (ourworld.compuserve.com)
> Email:	IIS on NT4/Windows 98 (compuserve.com)
>  	Sendmail (apparently on SUN)
> 
> Lorna Reid - Independent Working Class Association
> Web:	Zeus on Linux
> Email:	none
> 
> Simon Hughes - Liberal Democrats
> Web:	Apache 2.0.49 on Linux
> Email:	Apache 2.0.49 on Linux
>  	Sendmail
> 
> Lindsey German - Respect - The Unity Coalition (George Galloway)
> Web:	none
> Email:	none
> -----
> 
> none means there wasn't a URL or email address listed, and the two lines
> under Email are for the web server running on the quoted address, and the
> SMTP server running on the highest MX for that domain.
> 
> I'd say that Ken Livingstone has the most interesting setup from our point
> of view, with zope, plone and exim, and I'm interested to see that the only
> ones running IIS on their web server are the BNP.  Only one of the
> candidates lists neither a URL nor a contact email address, 6 have custom
> domains registered for their mayoral campaign, only one uses a generic URL
> (under ourworld.compuserve.com) where the others at least give a party
> domain, and two have generic email addresses (one at hotmail, the other at
> compuserve again).  Oh, and only the Lim Dems have upgraded to Apache 2 :-)
> 
> Cheers
> Richard, a little bored at work...
