Unfortunately from what I have seen lately, most spam comes from either
China, hijacked desktops, or mis-configured proxies.

You can't get a response from China (accounts there are under
$3US/month), and ISP's will not sniff the hijacked desktops to see who
is actually sending the spam.

I already have all IP addresses from China in my server's blacklist.
