Are you sure? I've received dozens legitimate messages via this very list from Chinese IPs. There are at least 3 different users on this list that match my RELAY_CN rule (based on RelayCountry), and one of them has posted 23 messages since February. Note it's not always easy to tell where the person sending mail is really located. They could work for a US company, but be away on travel and sending via SMTP-Auth from China. Ditto for gmail, yahoo, etc.. Have you checked the IPs in the headers to see what countries they were in? Reverse DNS names won't help you here either. > > In any case, my spam is never deleted, it goes into junk folders, > which I review every several days. That's a good idea. Do some playing, you'll likely find that you get a lot more international mail than you think..
