Indeed. I've just registered and installed the s/w on my mail server and 
I'm already in position 3514/11582 with just over 3 weeks uptime - since 
I did a major u/g from 4.9 -> 6.1 - let's see how far it gets.

The longest it's been up for is ~220 days but that's because we have a 
flaky mains supply round here (electric company more interested in their 
shareholders than customers). Perhaps now it's time to get a UPS?
