Re: Follow the money

Some did. When I had Prodigy dial up in the 90's they had an 'overseas' filter that blocked all mail originating from overseas servers. With it I received virtually no spam. It was part of a comprehensive anti-spam system they called Spamshield. It included this plus tons of filtering and blacklist subscription options.

If spammers are out of the country then why can't American ISPs allow an option for American customers to block all non American email address/ip's for email traffic.

I never recieve legit email from outside the US, and I am sure most American's never do either.
