You can check the status of Chinese ISPs in the SBL advisories. [The more the listings, the bigger the spam problem. Any listings in ‘Yellow’ indicate ROKSO (Register of Known Spam Operations spammers) and therefore mean a major spam problem. More than 2 Yellow ROKSO listings is a strong indication your ISP is in trouble.]
