Re: [magicmail-users] country_blacklist doesn't work

Hmmm.. That is specifically what that piece of code is designed to do.
Be strange if it didn't work. I know that it is working perfectly on the 
commercial version, but judging by this question, I see that maybe we can ad 
better logging to this function.  The latest version is waiting on release 
for some feedback on another possible bug, so I will ask the devolopers to 
review that section of the code.
