I wasn't trying to start a name calling session among countries (we have
enough people doing that).

My point was simply, why is the URL not used that exists in the msg body of
these spams to help flag it, and instead all the attention placed on the
header?  The guy making the comment about Canada ignoring US domains was
perhaps not off base in that for Canadian business email accounts that do
not deal in sales across the border, giving someone the option to block body
text URLs in emails outside of Canada doesn't sound all that unreasonable to
me. 

For the past year I always sent SPAM complaints both to the ISP owning the
header IP and the ISP of the URL.  The header was always forged and resulted
in none of the sites I reported being shut down while I know of 10 websites
that I shut down by doing this for the body URL.  Not too good for a year's
work of wasted mornings but nevertheless, more productive than doing
nothing.  At least my emails to the other host URL ISPs may have cost them a
penny to process.
