Looks like also the world's largest source of spam. I've only blocked the ranges from which I've received multiple spam...

Chuckle. How many messages is "enough spam"?

Comcast was nice enough to experience a meltdown in the San Francisco Bay area on Sunday morning lasting most of the day[1]. While Comcast was down, I noticed that my incoming spam had dropped from the usual

50 spam message per hour, to about 3 such messages per hour. I don't bother counting the spam, but even without an accurate count, the drop was dramatic. Conclusion: Most of the spam that I receive originated from hijacked computers and botnets, not servers. [1] Comcast Outage Map (from crowd-source data):
