Re: Blocking traffic by Country to reduce spam

[Andre Pawlowski <sqall () h4des org>]

It depends...

Well I know cases where blocking IPs from Russia, Africa, China and so  
on reduce the spam. When you block these IPs only on your email server  
and not on the companies firewall your clients can still reach  
websites or other resources in these countries. So when it is a small  
business with no contacts to any of the blocked countries and there is  
no way that these countries will try to contact your business via  
email, I think you can block whole IP ranges of some contries.
