as a sidenote, it is *strongly* discouraged to run your own smtp server
on a dynamic ip address that you don't exclusively own. i know it's nice
to roll your own just for the hack value, but any responsible smtp admin
out there should block *any and all* mails coming from known dialup
address pools.
if you can't keep your own sender address when using your isp's relay,
you should either raise hell with their support, switch providers or
ssh-tunnel into another network you have access to and use their smtp
(univiersity networks come to mind). if all this is not an option, you
are out of luck, but still: don't run your own smtp.

It's time to just block rima-tde.net, they
don't care about their spam and
they won't do anything about the nigerian criminals infesting their
networks.
Blocking rima-tde.net, maybe you will be blocking almost all spanish
DSL users, including myself. I have my own DSL connection, and SMTP
running on my computer. I could spam the entire world without using my
provider's smarthost. Please, think twice about this.
