Automatically discarding email from a given nation or region of the

if I was racist i wish Tim would tell me why i dont have japan and
thailand blocked, ill tell him why anyway, cause they dont bombard us
with 150K spam msgs a day.
i have had like 3 complaints *ever* in total about not geting mail
from the TLD's I block, 3 fucking compliants -V- the 200 odd a *DAY* our
CSR's were dealing with. THATs why what i do sits very well with me and
obviously all of our clients, who as paying customers are the ONLY ones
that count, not a bunch of hotheads on a mailing list.
