Jakob,

I'm sorry. Yes, they are. I was not asking for advice as to whether or not I
should block other countries. I was asking how to do it should I do so.

And I ask questions on all kinds of public lists. I have no desire to pay for
advice which I neither want nor need.

Reminds me of a lot of consultants I ran into when I was an IT consultant. They
knew what the customer needed better than the customer. I made a fair amount
of money cleaning up after these consultants.

Again, you know nothing about me, my company nor even what line of business I am
in. Yet you already know how much my company will grow. This is the ultimate
in arrogance, IMHO.

And for your information, I don't need to grow out of the immediate area. In
fact, if it were to grow to its maximum possibility in this area it would be
larger than I wish. I don't want to own a company with 500+ employees.

For your information, we are ahead of our targets in every area. And I suspect
it is already much bigger than any company you own.

Our filters are good. But we need them better. And it is up to determine what
will help us. And yes, blocking countries will stop spam being routed through
those countries.

Please - stick with what you know. Don't attempt to advise people on things you
don't know anything about. Only idiots do that.
