    So Korea leads the world in broadband connections... They also lead the world in open relays and in spamming people with messages they can't even read.

    My own mailserver doesn't accept incoming connections from Korea - at the time I inserted korea.blackholes.us into the dnsbl list, I had received ONE legitimate e-mail from Korea, and over four thousand spams from Korea.

    "Buh-bye, Korea." I'll take them out of the filters as soon as the logs indicate less than once bounce per week instead of 30-50 bounces per day.

    32mbps!?!

    connections @ 640 baud-rate should be enough for everybody..
