Yup ... i've actually had a spammer accessing from cybercaffe in Dublin,
Ireland ... I've blocked him ... within an hour he was accessing from
another cybercaffe ... i've blocked that too ... within an hour he was
accessing from third cybercaffe ... i've blocked that too ... and i guess
after that he got tired of walking around or something ... 

I guess those are just small fish operating as a part of some bigger
organisations ... i'm much more affraid of those that access the same
account from 10 open proxies within a day.
