at work has swung in the last 12 months from mostly coming from
spam-friendly ISPs (or NSPs) towards coming from everywhere. Well from
Windows machines that are presumably infected with something.

For someone who doesn't keep stats on spam, your stats are very
impressive ... I must improve my own stats script :-

Are you using the Date header there ? I decided to use the date on the
last Received header as being more likely to be useful.
