>My mail server was spoofed earlier this week
What do you mean by that? Someone set up a mail server that looked like
yours? Someone changed your DNS entries to point to a different mail
server? Someone sent mail with your domain as a return address?
Or were you just hijacked (IE you allow anyone to send mail through your
server, and a spammer took advantage of that)?
>I have my mail relay options set to relay mail for addressess.
That is good; you can either use that or "No mail relay" (any other option
will let spammers send mail through your server).

The "Relay for addresses" option means that there are only two ways you can
relay mail (send to external domains such as excite and
mindspring). Either you have to come from an IP address that you listed in
the "Relay for Addresses" option, or you have to use SMTP AUTH. If you
don't, you can't relay mail. So either add your IP address, or use SMTP
AUTH, and you'll be all set.
