Yes, we do have an 'IP Map' capability to take the originating IP  
address of the email and try to map its location. While not always  
accurate, it does give a general sense of where the emails are coming  
from, so helps in understanding the geographical reach.

We mapped emails for messages to the pgsql-general list a while ago.  
The resulting map is at:

  http://www.zeesource.net/maps/map.do?group=456

  We were waiting for someone from the pgsql-www team to tell us if  
they want to embed such maps on the Postgtresql.org web site.
