I should've stated previously, this is on a freeBSD mail server.  At any 
rate, here are the mods I made.  Search the appropriate Linux docs for 
correctness of these.

To local.cf I added
ok_locales en

To init.pre I added
# RelayCountry - add metadata for Bayes learning, marking the countries
# a message was relayed through
#
# Note: This requires the IP::Country::Fast Perl module
#
loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::RelayCountry


It isn't getting all of this, but it is catching a lot, ymmv.
