I find the extra 2.3 points for Windows XP,  1.3 for other Windows,
and -1 poins for Unix (non-Linux) quite valuable, both for pushing
the score over the limit for spam, or for sparing a marginal ham
on occasion.

Also, combined with a BOTNET plugin rules, it significantly reduces
false positives of this plugin.

For the moment it is hard-wired in sub delivery_status_notification:

  } elsif ($os_fingerprint =~ /^Windows\b/ &&   # hard-coded limits!
           $spam_level+$boost >=
             ($os_fingerprint=~/^Windows XP(?![^(]*\b2000 SP)/ ? 5 : 8)) {
    $suppressed = 1;
    $os_fingerprint =~ /^(\S+\s+\S+)/;
    do_log(3, "DSN: FILTER %s %s, suppressed for mail from %s ".
              "at %s, score=%s, <%s> -> <%s>", $smtp_resp_code, $ccat_name,
              $1, $msginfo->client_addr, $spam_level+$boost, $sender,$recip);
  }

I tried not to bundle amavisd too tightly with SpamAssassin,
or to repeat the tests already done by SA. Maybe some day...
