China Blocks Spam Servers

Posted by timothy on from the compulsion-repulsion dept.

clafarge writes "I just read in the AP's LiveWire that, as reported by Xinhua News Agency, China has blocked 127 mail servers which it identifies as major sources of spam. Oh, happy day. They also published a list of 225 spam servers around the world just last month." Guess they're following through on this.

    I guess when they upgraded from an 8 bit OS, they can block more. :)
