I was appologising for my apparent generalisation that the USA is responsible
for the spam I receive ☺.

I guess it depends upon who is spamming you and how they get your address.
My address is exposed through my whois records and via my posing to this
and a few other newsgroup.

I have found that the vast majority of the spam I get is from dsl lines
and I believe this is from spam relay virusus. I DO thing being able to
block reverse IP addresses by regex will help, in my case. 

Perhaps the source of your spam is different to mine?

I guess I should just write the code and measure the results.
