You are showing SMTP on a whole slew of your IP addresses. Like it or not,
these spammers sniff this kind of thing out and will use any combination of
IP address and domain name to hit your mail server. They will even target
your whole subnet.
Looks like everything is on one server, which is practical if you're on a
limited budget, but can lead to these kinds of problems. We run a separate
mail and web server which makes things a tad easier to deal with, and a
separate pair of BSD boxes to filter Email.
