There's a huge amount of mail that doesn't cross any backbones.

There's also a huge amount of mail that isn't sent by ISP mail servers: 
for example, deliveries from dedicated ezmlm machines.

Furthermore, every ISP is different. An ISP with more experienced users
will have more communications with UNIX machines.
