Re: Follow the money

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.

3 edits		 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.
