r...@haven:/etc/exim4/scripts# perl os_stats.pl
Connections: 489

FreeBSD: accept:1
   Linux: accept:52, reject:2
Solaris: accept:4, reject:10
Unknown: accept:20, reject:10
Windows: accept:1, reject:389

1/389 for Windows ... I remember the ratio used to be bad, but I don't 
remember it being as bad as that! I wish I could just block Windows 
hosts altogether. I looked up that 1 email which was accepted to check 
if it was a spam that got past my filters, but it turned out to be a ham 
sent from a Windows box running hMailServer.
