American myopia as spam rejection
November 11, 2002
I'm considering auto-deleting emails from certain country codes as a simple way to avoid spam.
No offense to the nations mentioned, but more than half the junk mail I receive is from Brazil and Denmark thanks to lax security by foreign sysadmins. I don't know anyone in either country; why not filter them out? Seems far more straightforward than installing some half-brained spam software that may junk my real correspondence.
Which begs another question: do the spammers really think I'm going to "llame, por favor!" when the x-sender is .dk?
