[Prepend: Is this (partly) implemented?  See last comment on bug 2575 from JMason.

Given Australia's strong, enforced antispam laws (see URL linking to spamhaus
article), perhaps giving a -1 or so (as determed by MASS) to all mail from
Australian IP space would be appropriate.
Even if SA decides to shy away from assigning positive scores to countries,
assigning a negative score to AU seems a reasonable exception to make.

There are two IP-country mapping DNS services I know of:
CLUE (cluecentral.net)
and
NERD (countries.nerd.dk)
(And the Perl library mentioned at the above bug, which may be superior)

If not, would we want something like 
header __RCVD_IN_CLUE		eval:check_rbl('CLUE', 'all.rbl.cluecentral.net.')
describe __RCVD_IN_CLUE	Determines Country of Origin based on IP
tflags __RCVD_IN_CLUE		net

header RCVD_IN_CLUE_AU		eval:check_rbl_sub('CLUE', '127.0.0.14')
describe RCVD_IN_CLUE_AU	CLUE: sender is in AU (Australia)
tflags RCVD_IN_CLUE_AU		net

And 170 more rules, based on the list here?:
http://www.cluecentral.net/rbl/showcountries.php
(Which is part of the 'documentation' so it's not undocumented.

Sorry if this is a dupe; I searched for bugs with Australia.  (and then searched
for 'countries' and and found this bug.)
