I get a lot of spam, and I do not get much spam from those domains.
Like nearly zero. HOWEVER, I get plenty of spam that is forged and
claims to come from those domains. Learn to read the full headers and
track down the originating site and you will find out it comes from
Korea, China, Russia, Canada, etc. (Kinda like reading te postmark on
a letter and not trust the return address.)
