There is also the RelayCountry plugin (requires the IP::Country::Fast
perl module). From the SpamAssassin INSTALL file:
- IP::Country::Fast (from CPAN)
Used by the RelayCountry plugin (not enabled by default) to
determine the domain country codes of each relay in the path
of an email.
You might also consider the URICountry plugin.
