A good place to start would be a country wide effort to educate your system
administrators on the proper configuration of mail servers. There is no
excuse with today's software for any smtp server to be an open relay.
We were receiving hundreds of spam emails daily, the majority of them from
Asia Pacific servers doing open relaying. I have lost count of the number of
emails I've sent to postmasters in Korea regarding their open relays and have
yet to see a single one close. I have neither the time or the inclination to
pursue the matter any further. So until there is a major change in policy,
Korea will remain blackholed here.
