spews has been dead for a while. this is why with
recent releases of openbsd, we don't include it in the example
files anymore - spews started taking a tack of basically
including every ISP on the planet, since only big companies
should be able to send mail. which, of course, is bullshit.
I use uatraps and nixspam.
China and korea are still relatively accurate, but
for my mind, of dubious value - I do not use them myself,
perfering to rely on *actual* spam sources rather than just
countries that are unresponsive to spam complaints. That
may have been valid 5 years ago, but IMO, now most of the
world is numb to them, not just China and Korea.
