you can reject clients whose name ends in

.dynamic.hinet.net
.HINET-IP.hinet.net

but that won't stop the noise.

I prefer firewalling them:

$ cat /etc/fw.nosmtp
## hinet.net junk sources
#59.112.0.0 - 59.127.255.255
59.112.0.0/12
#61.220.0.0 - 61.231.255.255
61.220.0.0/14
61.224.0.0/14
61.228.0.0/14
#111.240.0.0 - 111.255.255.255
111.240.0.0/12
#114.32.0.0 - 114.47.255.255
114.32.0.0/12
#118.160.0.0 - 118.167.255.255
118.160.0.0/13
#118.168.0.0 - 118.171.255.255
118.168.0.0/14
#122.120.0.0 - 122.127.255.255
122.120.0.0/13
#218.160.0.0 - 218.175.255.255
218.160.0.0/12
#220.128.0.0 - 220.143.255.255
220.128.0.0/12

then

smtp="-p tcp --dport 25"
grep -v "^#" /etc/fw.nosmtp | while read _subnet _anything; do
	if [ ! -z ${_subnet} ]; then
		iptables -A INPUT -s ${_subnet} ${smtp} DROP
	fi
done
