Yes, SPAM is really a problem here. Unfortunatelly, telco companies
won't do anything to keep spammers out of service. It's very radical to
simply drop all the brazilian IPs, and I just cannot do this otherwise
I'd be unable to talk to anyone. I've added about 20 B classes to the
mta's access list and 99% of the spam went away. This is because ALL the
spam that comes from Brazil are originated from ADSLs/Cablemodens.
Yet, I used to receive many spams from US/China until I started
using spews.

I think that people with .org/.net/.com domains are really in a bad
situation. People say that when they receive 300 mails a day, 250 or so
are spam. This sounds really bad. In the worst times, I used to receive
at most 5-10 spams a day, from 400 other e-mails.

I found mail-abuse.org to be very burocratic to add a single IP to
it's database. I think this makes them much less effective.
