it's pretty bad.  i've been shooting off all the spam from this list to
spamcop, but most of it comes from hinet.net, ethome.com and other
chinese ISP's who don't really seem to give two flying farts about what
they're sending out.

fwiw, my personal spam count dropped by OVER 90% when i started using
ORDB.  i don't suppose there's anyway to convince gnu.org to start
dropping smtp connections from open relays?
