MDaemon determines the country associated with the connecting IP address and then blocks that connection if it is from a restricted location, and adds a line to the Screening log. For SMTP, Location Screening can optionally block only connections using AUTH. This is useful, for example, if you have no users in a specific country but still wish to be able to receive mail from there. That way you would only block those attempting to log in to your server.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_BodyText\"><span class=\"f_BodyText\">The <\/span><span class=\"f_PlainText\">\\MDaemon\\Geo\\<\/span><span class=\"f_BodyText\"> folder contains database files that serve as the master country IP database. The files were provided by MaxMind (www.maxmind.com), and updates can be downloaded from their site if desired.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_ControlHeading\" style=\"page-break-after: avoid;\"><span class=\"f_ControlHeading\">Enable Location Screening<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_ControlIndent\"><span class=\"f_ControlIndent\">Location Screening is on by default, but no regions or countries are blocked; MDaemon just logs the connecting country or region. To block a location, click the box until a check mark appears next to the region or country that you wish to block. If you wish to block only AUTH connections, which means SMTP connections will still be allowed, then click the box again so that it is completely filled.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_ControlHeading\" style=\"page-break-after: avoid;\"><span class=\"f_ControlHeading\">Select\/Deselect all<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_ControlIndent\"><span class=\"f_ControlIndent\">Use these button to select or deselect all locations in the list.<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_ControlHeading\" style=\"page-break-after: avoid;\"><span class=\"f_ControlHeading\">View<\/span><\/p>\n\r<p class=\"p_ControlIndent\"><span class=\"f_ControlIndent\">Click this button to view a text file list of all the locations that are currently blocked by Location Screening.
