Thanks for the help. What log file would contain that information?

It turns out the user used the password "fluffy" to secure their account. Check your logs - if you are running them - and you will see someone tried multiple passwords on the account and it probably didn't take very many tries for them to gain access. We cleaned the account and made the user change their password, and locked out web access for her because she never uses it, and have not had another problem.

I don't think it's a relaying issue since the server is behind a Barracuda spam firewall that filters incoming email and rejects anything not addressed to the domain's users - the Barracuda logs show nothing. The server is not running on port 25 - the Barracuda is forwarding all email on a different port. If you go into User Manager you can see where an user account had been modified with a bogus Full Name and Return Address. The actual spam content was in the signature file and the hacked user account was used to send the spam email. The server is on a DMZ, with incoming ports tightly restricted - I've been searching the firewall and SMTP logs but can't figure out how the spammer is gaining access to Imail. Where do I need to be looking? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
