RE: Can SpamAssassin do an auto fail for these please ?

Has anyone found a way to have fail: no such user here, for senders, who
send from one of a long list, like :

*@*.kr
*@*.jp
*@*.cn
*@*.ru
etc, etc

Please ?

Any help much appreciated.

Chris.

it's ok_locales (and ok_languages when TextCat plugin is enabled). Also the
RelayCountry plugin might help a bit (adds country used for bayes training)

we're actually planning to do that since there is 0% ham from them.
But be carefull, thats only valid if you're really really sure that you won't 
ever receive mails from those countries (including forward services, free 
hosters, etc)

For most situations there are way better mthods of catching the spam.
like locales_ok.

SA doesn't support 'failure'.
