Question, (slightly O.T.)

Are you sure that it's Chinese? China doesn't have much of an Internet presence yet, but South Korea has broadband in more houses per capita than the USA or Canada does. Just like here, a fraction of Korean computer users don't know about firewalls and computer security, so their computers get hijacked...

Anyway, in this context, the Korean for "spam" is "spam", and the Chinese for "spam" is "spam". Likewise with Spanish, Japanese, and most other languages. (I'm not sure about French.) It's become a well-known loanword.

Would that be sweet&sour spam or almond fried spam?

Rob: The return address is posted below, China or Korea? I don't know, but I suspect the Koreans are a bit more savvy than this.

I can't traceroute to that machine, and hinet.net is unknown to the usual whois databases, but it might be Taiwan.

I use MailWasher to monitor my incoming e-mail and it also has a link to report spam messages to SpamCop. Most, nearly ALL, of the spam messages I have received lately have been traced back via SpamCop to addresses including "chinanet.cn" in the URL. Just FYI.

I highly recommend MailWasher or some other mail m>How do you say SPAM in Chinese?? I bet I'm not the only rms'er starting
