The most straightforward way is blocking the /8 IP block of the associated country, via iptables.
The list of IPv4 is here - http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.xhtml
Ipv6 is here - https://www.iana.org/assignments/bgp-extended-communities/bgp-extended-communities.xhtml#non-trans-ipv6
Regardless of your postfix config, if you block via iptables rules, they won't be able to get mail or any other packets to your server...like bruteforce, etc.
