Symantec Corporation, an anti-virus firm, reported that 70 percent of all emails coming from Asia are spam. The company claims that China leads the continent with 30 percent of that total, and the almost 90 percent of emails sent from the Philippines are spam as well.

I would never have considered Asia to be the leading sender of spam mail. With such high restrictions on Internet use, as well as the underdeveloped technological resources in most parts of the continent in comparison with other countries, I don't see why so much junk mail is coming from Asia.

Nonetheless, the general problem with excessive spamming seems to be the bigger picture here. It is as if nothing is being regulated to stop spamers, and the only defense for email account holders are filters. Still, this leaves the problem of accumulated space junk mail takes up in accounts, as well as the hassle of having to delete so many messages. Moreover, once you open a spam email, it's as if there's no way of ever stopping them from coming. We need better ways to deal with spam mail where junk messages will be denied acceptance in the first place.
