I took this up around Oct. 15, but never got any response at that time.
While looking at some statistics in my incoming spam, I noticed that the ca
50% of korean spams I had for the last 1.5 year have dropped to nearly zero
around Oct. 1. All .kr domains is gone and the asian spam I see is from non
asian domains.
Question is if the new spam laws in Korea have had an effect or if I just
see the result of filtering on some trunk line between Europe and Korea?
For if this is a global effect, koreans stopped spamming (ok, ok, but it is
soon Fathers Day, and this would be better than the tie I never use ;-), the
antispam community have to consider the impact of legal actions, with the
new EU law getting in place, definitively marking NA/SA spammers as the main
culprits.
If not and it is just a local effect, which ISP installed this effective
filter and how many countries are affected? Might mean that trunk line
filtering should be considered.
