> BTW, why 90% of SPAM on the list is in Japanese ... ?
ARIN is notouriously bad for maintaining contact info. As a result when you
try to complain about SPAM you hit the wall. Contact addresses are invalid,
tech-handles point to nowhere. Even contacts for AS maintainers are invalid.
This is for the entire asia-pacific region or at least for every single SPAM I
got from there (I take the time to complain and including all the way to the
upstream ISP if necessary on most of the B.S. I recieve).
As a result you never get through the first phase required by RBL and other
blacklists and no-one will waste a fortune on a "support" phone call to Japan
or China to comply with the further phases listed in RBL guidelines. As a
result SPAM in Japan, China and Korea goes on and they never get into RBL.
So, no matter how ugly does it seem I agree that filtering based on charset
is a good idea.
And this got way OT, omho. It is more of a subject for nanog or rbl discussion
lists ;-)
