most spam is sent directly from chinese "bulletproof hosting", or from trojaned hosts in korea.
a small (very small) percentage is from the us, europe or latin america. precisely because us, european and latin american ISPs are very quick to act and shutdown spammers.
the same is not true of china or korea. china because they simply don't fucking care, and i don't know what korea's problem is.
Right now, chinese ISPs simply don't give a shit. Because spam isn't "their" problem. You're the victim, not them. So why should they give a shit?
The only way to make them give a shit, is to make it their problem. By blocking all email from china, you force them to come to terms with the problem.
If their customers can't email anyone outside of china, and their customers start raising hell about it, maybe then they will finally start dumping the criminals from their networks.
Wasn't all that long ago that chinanet ran a lying autoresponder for abuse@chinanet that responded to every complaint with:
Until china's abusive attitude changes, they will become more and more widely blocked. They are hellbent on turning their entire country into a LAN, who are we to argue with them?
They do however tell you what specifically they are testing, how they test it, and how they rank them. When they find issues, they are usually quite specific about the problems.
the problem is that after stern brought the issue up, a LOT of people filed complaints about oprah, many orders of magnitude more than complained about stern. the fcc even admitted this!
and STILL oprah hasn't been fined. only stern has.
oprah is loved so she can break the rules however and whenever she likes, while stern is reviled and gets severely punished for the tiniest infraction.

go to the media. a nice story on the local tv news station should get results, including on-air interviews from angry companies victimized by the perp.
if corporations were subject to the death penalty, i would agree with you. corporation commits premeditated murder on someone? the corporation gets shut down.
as it is, corporate personhood endows corporations with more rights than individuals, which imo is wrong.
i have to admit, telling your customers they are stupid sounds like a truly winning marketing scheme to me. i hope they continue it to its logical conclusion.
at least they havent stooped to threatening customers... yet.
it's grudging acceptance that their own claims "there is no linux embedded tools market" and that "the Linux tools market will die" are patently false.
they're making a compat layer because their customers are demanding they support nonexistent tools for a dead market. yeah. that's the ticket.
it's a troll because that's exactly what it is. it's written by someone who knows damn well what the GPL is and is not, and wrote it explicitly and purposefully to get a rise out of feebleminded readers.

you obviously do not admin a mailserver.

sorry, i don't speak mandarin. or cantonese. or any other chinese dialect. i can't read gb2312 or big5 or any other chinese encodings.
/dev/null they go. about 200 messages a day of purely-chinese-language-spams, according to my filters.
so into
now if i could just figure out how to filter out all the purely-spanish-language-spams, life would be good.
554 is more powerful than 550:

554 5.7.1 thank you for your support of falun gong/free tibet now/free and democratic china.
I find the three pronged approach more satisfying. I might go for the four pronged approach and throw in taiwan eventually
It's called behavior modification.

No wonder china gets blocked?
Until china's abusive attitude changes, they will become more and more widely blocked. They are hellbent on turning their entire country into a LAN, who are we to argue with them?
No, just the chinese government.

Christopher Walken is a better actor. the Johnny Depp pick is just to make teenage girls wet their panties.
let me guess. the drunk driver got off scot free, then sued you for some bullshit reason. and your insurance had to pay both sides, too.
Do you see Al Franken being fined?
it's only a matter of time.
oh, he knows it perfectly well all right.
the problem is that after stern brought the issue up, a LOT of people filed complaints about oprah, many orders of magnitude more than complained about stern. the fcc even admitted this!

I'm sure theo de raadt would disagree with you.
Not that any sensible person thinks theo is correct...

nice username.
that "is" is now past tense.
That is if you have a copy or can get a copy of the NT HAL development kit from M$.
that's one pretty damned big "if".
games and multimedia programmers are using ogg vorbis. because it's more efficient space-wise, sounds better, and it's free.
i don't see anyone using this for games. ever. it doesn't make sense technically and it doesn't make sense financially.
...you are not their customer. advertisers are.
they are already public information, bucko.

not only that, it's a positively ancient troll from usenet, which morons repost repeatedly all over the net:
