Ok I check the Adresses again and all the Ip's with a subnet start with 255.

We have contacted the user of pour IP that we had in question but I haven't
heard if anyone has spoken with him, so we'll see what we find there.

How about one like "207.0.0.0 224.0.0.0", which would allow 210.x.x.x to 
send mail?  Are there any IP ranges that do not include "255." as the first 
byte in the network mask?

Actually, this isn't a problem:

> 51894

This log file entry just means that 210.21.108.189 (the spammer) connected 
to your IMail server at 207.51.128.113.

IMail definitely sees the IP address of the spammer as 210.21.108.189, and 
is definitely allowing it to send mail without authenticating, which would 
lead me to believe an odd netmask is the issue (such as 207.0.0.0
224.0.0.0).
