I've clearly got to keep my mouth shut more often. <grin>

I would suggest that this output would be more interesting if clients were 
somehow "grouped" as in this case where roughly 350 posts were sent with 
SquirrelMail. Also, I just took a quick peek at the numbers, but they added 
up to somewhere near 6,000 as opposed to the 8,100 posts total. Do the 
other 2,100 posts not have a mailer-ID? You might also want to cut off from 
the list those mailers used to send less than 10 messages, just for brevity.

Similar question: 8100 messages, but here we have over 11,000 content 
types? Just curious, really.

Good job, interesting stats.
