It was bound to happen sooner or later.

I've been blocking mail from several foreign top level domains for more than a year now. It reduces the amount of spam I get by quite a bit. It's not surprising that I'm not the only one.

We just checked our email here for this morning. We use an Asian ISP. According to the email headers, which can be faked I know, of 250 messages, around 65% spam from the West, mainly USA; 4% from Asia.

We wont be blocking Western email in our spam filters.

I know Chiyo, but some of us are getting pounded by that stuff. I'd guess 50 today for me from asia vs about the same from elsewhere.
