The usual caveat: I have no idea how representative our data is. Most notable trends (IMO):
1. A considerable reduction in spam from Poland. While still much higher than it was six months ago, it looks like the miscreants had their run which resulted in increased filtering and many have moved along to other areas. 2. It looks like they have moved back the to the USA which is now origination close to 30% of the spam that we see. That's an increase from 18% in August. I attribute this to a proliferation of new bots and exploits. WHEN will Verizon, Comcast, RoadKill and Charter block 25 out? WHEN? 3. The South Korean share is almost doubled from August and back where it was in July. The PRC share has reduced a tad. 4. Proportionate to spam origination, Brazil has a commanding lead in removal requests. Someone named "Fabio" seems to be the administrator of every server in Brazil. He has an odd attraction to the submission button on the removal form resulting in multiple submissions on almost every request. We recently prevented this in the script code but he's still trying. -- Our DNSRBL - Eliminate Spam at the Source: http://www.TQMcube.com Don't Subsidize Criminals: http://boulderpledge.org
