This was not done for reasons related to the security of the server. It 
was done purely to reduce the number of scam emails originating from the 
aforementioned TLDs to the advertisers of the goods on my client's web 
site. If the governments of the countries represented by those TLDs took 
Internet fraud and other Internet-related malfeasance more seriously and 
prosecuted the criminal gangs that are often behind these activities, 
then we wouldn't have to resort to such drastic measures.
