[Mimedefang] Adding support for learning our addresses

[James Ebright]

While it is true that a majority of it "originates" within the US, UK 
and Canada, it is also true that the majority of open relays and shoddy 
servers and open networks are overseas.. I do not advocate blocking the 
netblocks of entire countries... but so much "comes from" Korea, Japan 
and other Asian countries where broadband is exploding in the homes (and 
by comes from I mean these are the servers that are "owned, exploited, 
etc) that we seriously considered it. Not to mention you ever try and 
get  an administrator in China to cooperate (or even respond) when 
trying to track back an attack?.......
