How silly of me. Obviously I have been duped by MS agents.

For fun? Have you lost mind? Don't you see what THEY are trying to do. Obviously you're an MS agent.



New script, counting each sender once. (Couldn't do this in a oneliner. Maybe I'm an MS agent.) :

#!/usr/bin/env python2
import mailbox, sys, re, string
 
box = mailbox.UnixMailbox(open(sys.argv[1]))
 
senders = {}
clientscount = {}
clientregexp = re.compile("(.+?)[\d,\/,\[,\.,\(].*")
 
 
while 1:
    msg = box.next()
    if not msg:
        break
 
    sender = msg.getheader("From")
 
    if not senders.has_key(sender):
        senders[sender] = 1
        client = msg.getheader("X-Mailer") or  msg.getheader("User-Agent") or "unknown"
 
        match = clientregexp.match(client)
        if match:
            client = match.groups()[0]
 
        client = string.strip(client)
 
        if clientscount.has_key(client):
            clientscount[client] =  clientscount[client] + 1
        else:
            clientscount[client] =  1
 
 
results = [(key, value) for value, key in clientscount.items()]
results.sort()
results.reverse()
 
for result in results:
    print result[1], result[0]


Result. Pretty much the same. :
