Begin forwarded message: From: Claudio Gutierrez <gutierrezclaudio () terra cl> Date: August 24, 2004 9:29:11 AM EDT To: Dave Farber <dave () farber net> Subject: US tops league of e-mail spammersAlmost 43% of all unwanted e-mails originated from the US in the last month, said anti-virus firm Sophos.
The report suggests that anti-spam laws passed in the US nine months ago have had little impact.
South Korea, the most broadband-connected country in the world, was next in line, firing out 15% of all junk e-mails.
"Almost nine months on from the Can-Spam legislation and the US's attempt to clean up its act appears to have had little impact," Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos said.
