We've been getting an extraordinary amount of spam from a few IP ranges (hosting proxies) and countries (Nigeria for example) on our classifieds section.

Mod Geo_IP
============http {
geoip_country /usr/local/share/max/GeoIP.dat;
......
============and the result would be in $geoip_country_code

How would I ban based on this result ... for the whole server?

Banning by CIDR
In Apache a simple Deny from CIDR would work in the Directory / section.

How can I do this in Nginx?


Thanks!
