China Blocks Spam Servers

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.

Try complaining to the right people.

I had complained countless times to the Chinese whois contacts without positive result.

I managed to get a Viagra shill site yanked. That happened after a mail filter misconfiguration caused over 4000 e-mails to be sent to to the host (china-netcom.com)

I've heard that people have had some results by CCing their complaints to every known Chinese ambassador contact address:
