Answering my own emails now...... Found a comprehensive IP to country list on http://ip-to-country.webhosting.info/ updated monthly in .csv - should be able to look at the headers and see if its changed in a cron job and have it wget and unzip. Only 520KB as a zip file as well, 3.2Mb uncompressed, probably don't need the full names data in that table repetitively, that can be cross processed into a different table. Should be able to derive a countries list and generate a form that allows / denies access then gives something to feed into Sendmail Might have a play with this at the weekend if I get a chance! Any feedback as to if this is worth doing appreciated - but one thing that comes to mind, which may be beyond me is do - any of the BQ developers fancy intergrating the PHP behind this into the GUI? Seems that it would be rather nice to have a section in there which allowed / denied server or email access by entire country, based upon some of the recent posts on the list!
