Spam Assasin 1

[supportahm1980]

Hello. Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. But I was wondering how I could use spam assasin to block non USA orginated emails. Block ending with .it .ru .au etc.

thank you.

I don't think you can do the blocking you want by domain name. Although domains in the .us, .edu, .mil and .gov top-level domains (TLDs) are probably only going to be issued to US-based organizations, others, such as .com, .net and .org, are assigned globally.

Anyway, on what would you make the decision? The "From:" header, like all SMTP headers, is set arbitrarily. A spammer in Russia, which I assume you're trying to block, is nearly certainly going to provide a "From:" header from a bogus domain, even if that domain falls within the the .ru TLD.
