Use iptables & ipset if you want to block the IP-space of entire AS or CCs.

If you 'just don't care' for traffic from large amounts of IP-space you
dont want Exim to deal with that. Exim was built to deal with email,
not blocking/rejecting connections. ;)

# ipset create CC_CN hash:net counters
# ipset add CC_CN w.x.y.z/vv
repeat for all of .CN's IP-space

# iptables -I INPUT -m set --match-set CC_CN src -j DROP
optionally add -p tcp --dport 25...

You can tell fail2ban to not use iptables to block connections but
instead use ipset. I personally use the 'hit once, be blocked for ever'
approach and have 'unban_action' set to '/bin/true'. There's roughly 13k
IPs in my fail2ban ipset. ;-)

Add some automation to this mix and you get:

[root@vm:~] # update-ipsets
Updating set as15975, type as, data 15975 ... no change in set
Updating set as16276, type as, data 16276 ... no change in set
Updating set as33258, type as, data 33258 ... no change in set
Updating set as39435, type as, data 39435 ... no change in set
Updating set as4320, type as, data 4320 ... no change in set
Updating set as63857, type as, data 63857 ... no change in set
Updating set ccCN, type cc, data CN ... changes were detected
Updating set ccHK, type cc, data HK ... changes were detected

Done.

Add some graphs and https://8n1.org/11176/7a2c !

But this is getting off-topic rather quick. :)
Sorry for that.
