This is Sophos' list of the top 12 spam relaying countries, by percentage: United States 23.1% China (incl Hong Kong) 21.9% South Korea 9.8% France 4.3% Poland 3.8% Spain 3.3% Germany 3.0% Brazil 2.9% Japan 2.0% United Kingdom 1.9% Netherlands 1.8% Taiwan 1.6% All other countries added up to 20.6 percent of the spam relaying taking place. Sophos noted that as a continent, Europe may soon over take North America for second place in relaying, following Asia. Some 42.8 percent of spam relaying comes from Asia. Various cases brought in the US against spammers under the CAN-SPAM Act have helped end spam rings and in some cases recovered damages from the offenders. A side effect of prosecution, however, has probably caused many operations to slip into other countries with less effective laws or minimal interest in enforcing such laws against spammers.
