If you are overseas on Business you shouldn't be using any networks in that
nation to begin with. Use something else.

Glass houses... It may be true that your users can afford to give Polish
mail a low priority, but don't pretend that Florida, US isn't one of the
spam capitals of the world.

Exactly. By your logic, Polish admins should block all US connections.
That approach doesn't support international communications very well,
and punishes the good guys. As an admin, your goal is to connect
legitimate parties, even if that represents only 3% of your connections.
Unfortunately, your users are unaware that you are throwing out the
baby with the bathwater. What if they or their associates are traveling
abroad, and happen to be in a country you have firewalled? There is a
risk you will block important messages.
