Excuse the idle curiosity... but how can you be sure of this sort of
thing? Just because you don't notice any legal mail from said countries
is no guarantee of no possible _future_ legal mail from there.

I gather from the stats you mentioned that you have rather a lot of
users, with varied international contacts. At any given time any of them
might want to converse with someone in Russia or Turkey without telling
you, first... I'm saying this, looking at a server that would benefit a
lot from blackholing, frex, Brazil wholesale, but there are about 2000
users whom I'd rather not re-ask every day whether or not they are
interested in talking to anyone in Brazil today.
