Certain groups seem to attract more harvesting than others. Personally,
I pity the misguided sods who harvest on nanae. (There must be some.)
I have toyed with posting as "abuse(_at_)niceperson(_dot_)org" and seeing who
spams that address.
And then there are the people who spam spamassassin-talk. I really
wonder sometimes.
Maybe it is being spam filtered by someone else. Or do you receive email
to your own server? If so, I am amazed you don't get the statutary 10
Korean spams everyday.
I don't get much Korean spam; the majority used to be Taiwanese, but
now it all seems to be Chinese. However, my perception might be
skewed since a lot of the English-language spam I get has passed through
open proxies in China or references an email account at btamail.net.cn.
Personally I filter spam quite aggressively but save everything in
order to report it. The more I report spam, the less I get.
