Which brings up an interesting idea. I wonder how many legit non-spam
.cn domains exist? Surely it is a fraction of a percent of the # of .cn
domains used for spam purposes, correct?

If that assurtion is right, then maybe it makes more sense to build a
really good and comprehensive ".cn" whitelist. Then create a rule in SA
whereby ".cn" domains not on that whitelist would add a point or two to
the score. (it shouldn't be used to outright block due to the "guilty
until proven innocent stance!"...and it shouldn't be a default SA rule)

I might be interested in maintaining such a freely available
list--accessible via rsync at no charge--if someone else would come up
with the SA rule or plugin. My unique contribution could be providing a
means for my own "invaluement URI ratings engine" to rate potential
candidates for whitelisting--this would separate most of the wheat from
the chaff with little effort--just as long as the entries submitted was
kept to a reasonably low volume.
