As a solution you could block all HINET IPs by your access table. Or better: all IPs in Korea, Taiwan and China - if you don't expect any wanted mails from this countries. Or you use the FEATURE(`dnsbl') of sendmail to block all known spammer IPs. More information about that you can find on http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/chk-810.html.
That's not going to work in Miguel's case. He is using AvMailGate, which has the drawback that all mail appears to be coming from the machine where the mailgate runs on. Therefor a lot of IP based spam prevention techniques employed in sendmail will be useless. The better solution is to use AvMilter (from the same company), which uses the milter interface and does not have this disadvantage. It's similar in operation as the combination of AMaViS and AntiVir, but runs quite a bit faster (useful if you happen to receive *lots* of mail or on slower machines).
