China Cleans Up Spam Problem

angry tapir writes "It's been a few years coming, but it looks like China may finally be getting a handle on its spam problem. Once the largest source of the world's spam, China has been gradually fading off the list of the world's top spam-producers. Right now Cisco Systems' IronPort group ranks it at number 18 in terms of spam-producing countries. That's a big drop from two years ago, when it consistently ranked in the top five."

China is still happy to host spammers websites - yes .cn got cleaned up after being big chinese cash cow, but .ru is damm popular with chinese 'hosting' firms.

Spam is a two sided operation - the mail, and the site.
