Pitcairn Islanders are top of the spam pops

Think of where your spam comes from and the usual suspects, according to most surveys of such things by the security and messaging experts, turn out to be the good old US of A, Russia and China which between them accounted for 33.8 percent of all spam in the last quarter of 2007. However, in a new survey by Sophos, the US is down in 64th place, Russia 45th and China 132nd. So why the big difference? Simple, this survey has looked at spam relaying in terms of the volume per capita rather than just the volume per se.
