Russia, China World's Biggest Spammers
An anonymous reader writes "According to this ZDNet article, The Spamhaus Project has warned that organised cirminal gangs in Russia are supplying U.S.-based spammers with details of compromised PCs that can be manipulated to send junk mail. According to Spamhaus director Steve Linford, the Russian gangs aren't constrained by any anti-spam or cybercrime laws in their home country and have no respect for legislation implemented in other countries. Also, apparently 70 percent of spam is sent from China by American spam outfits who in turn have hosting arrangements with Chinese ISPs."

Your right. nobody reads the email. Its done by bots and....bots.
just send an email to president@whitehouse.gov with a simple question like "What is President Bush's middle name?"
the reply:
"Thank you for e-mailing President Bush. Your ideas and comments are very
important to him.
Because of the large volume of e-mail received, the President cannot
personally respond to each message. However, the White House staff
considers and reports citizen ideas and concerns...."
Nobody ever replied my question. I'm a tax paying citizen. Oh well, atleast we have equal rights...so nobody will read your email either.
