it is hard to block them, I am an IT Manager I have tracked a lot of spam and their origin at my company's worksite, I have noticed a lot of it are coming from Asia and Europe To help cut down on the spam I have actually blocked countries from sending emails to our domain by their IP addresses . It was a lot of work and I continue to monitor this almost every day. I do pity the end user who do not have knowledge on software that they can use to block all mail except from those they know I suggest they use hotmail and set it up to block all mail except those on their list, other ISP's provide spam programs where you can stop automated spam, the sender is required to fill a form before they can send you mail, best of luck to those who are victims to this ordeal..
