I am afraid not. (No worries thou' as Bicester Computers is working hand in hand with Google Mail to develop a new Antispam Solution, more to come soon on the News area)
Spamming remains economically viable because advertisers have no operating costs beyond the management of their mailing lists, and it is difficult to hold senders accountable for their mass mailings. Because the barrier to entry is so low, spammers are numerous, and the volume of unsolicited mail has become very high.
Spamming can be very profitable even at what would otherwise be considered extremely low response rates.
According to Sophos experts 28.4% of global spam comes from the U.S. The second place in the list of spammer-countries is South Korea, bringing 5.2% of global spam.
The list of top 12 countries that spread spam around the globe is presented below:
USA - 28.4%;
South Korea - 5.2%;
China (including Hong Kong) - 4.9%;
Russia - 4.4%;
Brazil - 3.7%;
France - 3.6%;
Germany - 3.4%;
Turkey - 3.%;
Poland - 2.7%;
Great Britain - 2.4%;
Romania - 2.3%;
Mexico - 1.9%;
Other countries - 33.9%
