If you do the reject in postfix you'll be able to see the sender details, which may be valuable for seeing which accounts have been compromised and/or troubleshooting false positive reports.

You can append a wildcard reject AT THE END of the cidr file with a custom message. That message will be sent to the client and will be included in your log. # us cidr table ... everything else 0.0.0.0/0 REJECT submission not allowed from your location geoip > >> Under 2.10, would it make sense to put those restriction in the >> smtpd_relay_restrictions if port 25 is open for connections? > > In the other half of the instructions I gave, which you cut, I show that > this needs to be done in master.cf. smtpd_foo_restrictions in main.cf > are global.
