Believe me, I've been very tempted to blackhole .jp, .kr and don't forget
.co.uk or .it but then I realized, for the most port the spam originates
from the U.S. and uses an open relay in these countries to spam.
I think the long term goal is to educate the admins of these foreign
domains. A good way to do that is get them listed in RBL, RSS and DUL.
If sending to your domain is important to them, then they'll be prompted
to secure their relaying systems. If they do not secure them, then all
RBL/DUL/RSS users benefit.
Meanwhile, ISPs who catch their customers spamming could apply surcharges,
fines and labor costs to the spammers credit card. Sure, they'll never
collect, but the spammer won't have credit or a valid credit card to open
a new account elsewhere, and spam again. In other words, hit em where it
hurts.
... and remeber what the first W stands for in "www"
