I agree.  I started blocking everything not from *.com, .net, .gov, .org, 
and .jp.  It has GREATLY reduced my spam level. 

Then I blocked everything from hotmail, yahoo, msn, and the likes.  I added 
only the people I know with valid accounts to my whitelists.  Score another 
HUGE reduction in spam.
