Is there a list of the suffix's used for different countries to be used in a spam filer?

[Videot]

What with my ISP's spam filter & some filtering done in Outlook Express a
few still get through. I have noticed that many of them come from certain
countries where I know no one. Is it possible to have a filter that just
stops all mail from a country? If so is there a list that I can use to find
out what suffix is used for each country?

One I suggest is com.fi in the from line. This will stop all mail from the NAZIs in Finland. You need both parts cause some domains could be
(e-mail address removed) which would match .fi

Thanks for that list. So presumably if I wish to stop Nigeria scams then I
just delete from server all emails from '.nag Correct?

NO. Because you'll delete all emails where any part of the name starts with NAG

like
(e-mail address removed)

So you'll need to work out what nigeria (you are so ungrateful to people who want to give you millions) uses as their domains.

EG US and Australia use com, net, edu, etc
while NZ and GB of UK uses co, ac (for academic), etc

so you need to block on last two parts of the name to avoid deleting some emails not from nigeria.

If nigeria uses NZ naming
..co.nag
and
..ac.nag
