countries.nerd.dk (the zone) is a DNSBL (DNS blocklist) created for my own personal use. Other people started asking for access to it, so I decided to make it available to the world.
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.
If the concept of iso-country-codes does not ring a bell for you, "Dr. Jørgen Mash" has created a page with more detailed information on the different countries in the zone, as well as a load of other DNSBL zones, which may help you find the countries you need.
What the zone DOES NOT contain
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.
