If you are smart, you will reject _all_ direct connects to your SMTP port
from _all_ dialups, other than your own. If you get a direct connect to
your SMTP port from a dialup that is not your own, then it is probably
one having evil intent behind it, e.g. either spamming or mailbombing,
or subscription bombing, or the latest twist... harvesting of E-mail
addresses (for later spamming) direct from your SMTP server.

Try it again from another machine.
As far as I know, all of the internet.com.mx dialups _do_ have reverse
DNS, and they all fit the regular expression pattern:
^inter[0-9]+\.internet\.com\.mx$
