Hmmm, I use policyd-weight to weight several blacklists instead of blocking complete country IP spaces unconditionally and together with some local spam filtering with CRM114 at home it keeps spam gets through rate very comfortable low for more than a year already. I estimate I do not have more than 20 spam mails marked as unsure in a whole week.The rate is a bit higher at work, but still quite comfortable, where Zimbra does the additional spam filtering I think with a learnable Spamassassin setup. But most mail is blocked by policyd-weight at SMTP level anyway. So I do not see any need to block complete IP spaces, but your mileage may vary.
