imho, it's not an issue of where most spam comes from, nor is it a politically
charged question.
rather it's a pragmatic one: what % of email you rec'v/expect from any given
country is spam?
e.g., as one of my clients (a) does no business with CN/KR, and (b) noted that
~100% of email
rec'd from servers there was spam, adding:
cn-kr.blackholes.us,
before their usual RBL list of:
sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org,
relays.ordb.org,
relays.mail-abuse.org,
list.dsbl.org
has had a huge effect on reducing spam ...
even though the total volume orig'ing in the US may be higher, the % of legit
email is much
higher, and the 'other' RBL do well enuf ...
so, to your question: "... fairly OK ... ? " is simply an operational issue.
cheers,
richard
