[ANGLICO]

I would like to be able to block IP addresses that appear to originate from certain countries from trying to log into my account. Is there a way to do that? Perhaps an easier option would be to PERMIT only an IP address originating in the USA to log into my account.

Ideas?

Belay the previous, I just saw this:

The easiest thing to do is simply delete the emails and continue on with your life.

PS- You're never actually locked out- the lock follows the IP address not the username, so you would always be able to log in so long as the attack isn't coming from your IP address.
