The GEOIP plugin lets us know where our mail server is receiving mail from. If we're receiving too much spam from a particular location, this will help track it down. We can then use that info to reject connections from that place taking the load off our server.

We need the GEOIP package and the perl interface to the program but this isn't installed on SME. We'll have to grab the packages from yum. Yum has access to different public repositories where packages are available. GEOIP is in the EXTRAS repo. We'll enable the repo and install them.

We also need the GEOIP DATABASE. This database is updated monthly by a company called MaxMind. We'll have to download it every month or pay for their subscription service to be accurate. The database needs to be in a specific location or it won't work. We'll change to that location.

The email receiving component of SME is called QPSMTPD. It's great because it allows us to turn plugins on or off or create our own
