Is it possible to filter incoming mail by IP classes?

Hello,
For example I have a server with qmail and courier-imap on it. I need to implement a way of allowing incoming mail only from IPs from US/Canada.

How can this be done? Any ideas?

Please help

Thank you

It was because the ipt_geoip kernel module was not loaded
