I receive serious amounts of spam in Hebrew and Russian, and haven't even been to
either Israel or Russia recently. Regards Marshall
Trying to separate out what "in" Europe means in this case seems to comedown to having given out email addresses to web sites and collegues ina different language environment rather than physical presence of eithermyself or my mailserver in either North America or Europe. I guess the German spam I have been receiving is only european in that German speakers happen to be mostly in Europe, which is not true of English speakers.I wonder, is the (English language) spam set that one is likely to receive in Australia statistically different than what one is likely to receive inthe US? -w
