Why not go in and block the address range at the firewall and leave it at

ended up at this. I had some luck with declude and message sniffer, but
these sort of folks are pretty agile and hard to stop. Mine were from China.
I do firewall off address ranges, but that's not a long-term solution.
In the last six weeks, these have come from five different,
wholly-unrelated address blocks. And I don't wish to block Nigerian
users from viewing my customers' Web sites, for example, or my users
from viewing any content hosted there. My goal is to create the
least-intrusive solution possible. Thus, blocking the IP space by, say,
adding a couple hundred new rules to iptables and blocking the whole
country from my whole network, would be inappropriate.
I can't readily think of a more appropriate place to perform these
checks, except maybe by modifying the Imail Web interface itself to use
a geolocation database, but I'm not sure if that's even possible.
