And I have a *very* good idea how much gets blocked - a prime use of our FreeBSD servers is for Exim-PostgreSQL MTA's. I'm sure a medal or three would be very much in order - though more sleep, and watching botnet traffic drop off the radar would probably be more welcome. But if we could have but 'one wish' - it would be end-user communities who understood that, yes, we DO need to block some folks they consider legitimate correspondents - because they are violating the most basic of requirements.
