The Internet Society of China (ISC), whose members include Chinese government bodies, companies, and ISPs, have begun measures effective this week to bring spam under control in China, blocking emails sent from 127 servers that have been identified as sources of spam by the group's Anti-Spam E-Mail Coordination Team as sources of bulk unsolicited e-mail.
The list, which tends towards preventing mail sent from Taiwan servers, includes eight servers in China, 90 servers in Taiwan and 27 servers in other countries, including 16 in the U.S. and six in South Korea.
This is seen, however, to be too limited a scope, falling short of shutting off access from hundreds of servers at Chinese ISPs (Internet service providers) that are sources of spam in China and around the world.
"The Internet Society of China wants to try our best to restore normal e-mail communications with the outside world for domestic Internet users," the group said in a statement posted on its Web site.
