Story: UK sees sharp rise in spam

Time the law was applied!

If 1/5 of all eMail has a UK source, it ought to be trackable, which means it ought to be possible to catch the culprits. I'd say if only a few of them were jaile, we would see a significant drop in the volume of spam.
As for mail from Russia and China, I would be quite happy for my ISP to drop all mail sent to me from a Russian or Chinese IP address range - so why isn't this being offered? I'll bet if end-users were allowed to select what countries they would accept eMail from, you'd see frantic activity on the part of the most troublesome sources to "clean up their act", to avoid being globally black-listed!
