This article explains how you can adjust your SpamAssassin score using countries.nerd.dk DNSBL blocklist.
The zone contains information which can be used to determine whether a given IP address resides in a given country, thus making it possible for the users to filter out mail from a specific country using standard methods. For example my own mailserver is configured to reject mail from hosts listed in cn.countries.nerd.dk, which means that I should reject most mail sent from or through a mail-server located in China.
The zone contains no information about the status of an address as a spammer or open relay. In general terms: The zone does not contain anything but geographic information
Few examples:
describe BL_COUNTRY_VN_1 Mail client in Vietnam
header BL_COUNTRY_VN_1 eval:check_rbl('vietnam', 'vn.countries.nerd.dk')
score BL_COUNTRY_VN_1 2.0 # please adjust the score value
tflags BL_COUNTRY_VN_1 net
describe BL_COUNTRY_IN_1 Mail client in India
header BL_COUNTRY_IN_1 eval:check_rbl('India', 'in.countries.nerd.dk')
score BL_COUNTRY_IN_1 2.0 # please adjust the score value
tflags BL_COUNTRY_IN_1 net
describe BL_COUNTRY_RU_1 Mail client in Russia
header BL_COUNTRY_RU_1 eval:check_rbl('Russia', 'ru.countries.nerd.dk')
score BL_COUNTRY_RU_1 2.0 # please adjust the score value
tflags BL_COUNTRY_RU_1 net
describe BL_COUNTRY_BR_1 Mail client in Brasil
header BL_COUNTRY_BR_1 eval:check_rbl('Brasil', 'br.countries.nerd.dk')
