Make it possible to block complete countries via "shielding".
Make it possible to block complete countries via " IP shielding". 90 % off the world I or my customers don`t want to receive "mail" from. Some countries are really known for their hacking teams and some countries are known for spam. Blocking complete countries secures my email server much more than using blacklists. Also it reliefs mdaemon from pllowing through all the spam etc.

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your idea with us.
If you only want to block inbound SMTP sessions you can use a DNSBL such as http://countries.nerd.dk to block connections by country.
To block all inbound connections from specific countries you can import htaccess or APF files that include the IP allocations for each country and importing them into MDaemon’s IP Screening list. These files are available online and can be found with your favorite search engine.
Thank you for your suggestion.
