That's why I always start with the most recent messages and work back.

Actually, SMTP Auth is a little too difficult for me to deal with.
(Remember, rule #1... People are stupid.) I had a hard enough time with
our customers after I switched to "ipless" virtual e-mail domains. They
had to change their mail server (in and out) to the new single name and
put an @domain at the end of their logon... That took about 2 weeks for
'em to figure out. After we sent them an E-mail a week before we did
it, and a fax the day of the change. Idiots.
I'd much rather have a setup that easily enables SMTP after POP3
automatically. But nobody has written a mail server with that
capability built in.... YET. It's just a nuisance to have to parse the
system logs all the time.

They have a /24, and it keeps changing? Thats insane..

As someone else pointed out, /16 is what you want. This is CIDR
notation, in the event you wanted to google for documentation.
However, you might be better of setting up SMTP AUTH.
It is almost never a good idea to add networks that *YOU* do not
directly control/own to host_accept_relay.
