you need to block the spam source, e.g. change password or remove
RELAYCLIENT from sending IP's parameters 
(I do not recommend using RELAYCLIENT for client machines, using STMP
authentication is better)

after resetting password, you must kill connected smtpd's - until that the
already connected clients can push other mail.
