I guess the fact that this spam originates mostly from USA has a lot to do with the fact that USA doesn't have a data protection law like GDPR in EU. Some years ago, when I had an email account under a different domain, I used to receive quite a lot of American spam too, and also some Chinese and Japanese spam. Under my current domain, however, looks like American spammers didn't find me yet (or they are effectively filtered by RBLs). Chinese and Japanese spam continues, but it isn't much. The majority of spam I did receive on my current address was however marketing mailing from my own country, from websites, companies and services I never subscribed to. I noticed a tremendous drop in amount of those messages once GDPR came into effect, so I can say that this law is really efficient. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
