Request for clarification: do you mean "spam originating at IP
addresses
believed to be in Europe" or "spam received at a mail server
located in
Europe" or "spam putatively from domains in Europe" or something
else?
One thing that happened when I moved to Europe and started doing
business in Germany is that relatively soon I began receiving spam in
German (which seems to have quite different content, and sales
strategy, actually, perhaps reflecting cultural differences in the
manner of buying and selling between the anglophone world and
Germany).
I receive serious amounts of spam in Hebrew and Russian, and haven't
even been to
either Israel or Russia recently.

Trying to separate out what "in" Europe means in this case seems to
come
down to having given out email addresses to web sites and collegues in
a different language environment rather than physical presence of
either
myself or my mailserver in either North America or Europe. I guess the
German spam I have been receiving is only european in that German
speakers happen to be mostly in Europe, which is not true of English
speakers.
I wonder, is the (English language) spam set that one is likely to
receive
in Australia statistically different than what one is likely to
receive in
the US?
