Well I dodn't blacklist on country. I just keep track per country.

I beg to differ here. While not as bad as the US they have their share of 
incidents. You may may not have noticed them based on the domain name as 
various carriers work in both US and CA.

But they made the list the pas week:

[US] United States:                       1321
[IT] Italy:                               1051
[CN] China:                                814
[KR] Korea, Republic of:                   672
[PL] Poland:                               381
[DE] Germany:                              333
[ES] Spain:                                256
[FR] France:                               249
[RU] Russian Federation:                   249
[BR] Brazil:                               228
[GB] United Kingdom:                       215
[IN] India:                                187
[TR] Turkey:                               151
[GR] Greece:                               142
[IL] Israel:                               125
[JP] Japan:                                123
[RO] Romania:                              123
[TW] Taiwan:                               116
[CA] Canada:                               114
[MX] Mexico:                               108

That puts them right smack in the middle group of spam as usual.

The high ranking networks:

195.46.1:                                  132  GR      Greece
220.160.164:                                59  CN      China
158.38.152:                                 41  NO      Norway
200.1.105:                                  32  TT      Trinidad and Tobago
218.24.41:                                  27  CN      China
59.45.103:                                  26  CN      China
193.252.22:                                 24  FR      France
212.254.75:                                 20  CH      Switzerland

Greece is mainly 1 PC on 1 specific network which is rather presistent.
