Do you mean as a relay for other mail servers? If so, do you have
this set up as a controlled relay (using "relay for ip addresses" +
NT hosts file) or as an "open relay" (relay for anyone or relay for
local hosts/users).
If you are an open relay, perhaps, uh, certainly some spammer(s) are
relaying through you.

Your imail sysMMDD.txt log file will show you the from/to for all
mails. Make sure either the "mail from: @sender" or "rcpt to:
@recipient" addresses contain a hostname for which you are an agreed relayer.
If you do not recognize the relayed mail as to/from your relay
servers, you're being spammed.
