And, it isn't terribly exciting. The most important fact here is that you 
can't obtain a fingerprint for 70% of incoming mail, and most of the rest 
identifies as from AIX hosts.

Oh, yes Contiki is an operating system <http://www.sics.se/~adam/contiki/>

One question that the article looks at is whether much of our spam comes 
from "networks of infected zombie Windows machines" but, it doesn't seem to 
look at the question of whether the OS identified is that of the 
originating host, or some ISP router or NAT host. I don't know enough about 
routing to make a guess about that.
