Then please fix it. Use No Relay or Relay for Addresses and SMTP AUTH. You're mail server is not listed on the blacklists yet but it has no PTR record.

I would like to see the proof this has occurred so get the proof from your log lines and post it. Just the part where someone uses smtpauth to send spam. M> Yes, SMTP Authentication!

Well I don't know what the "???" means. But if you are complaining because someone is sending mail to an address on your domain then that has nothing to do with relaying. SMTPAUTH has nothing to do with stopping mail incoming to a domain hosted on your server. That's simply a spam problem and you need to teach yourself to use IMAIL rules or invest in one of the Spam filter options. M> Please Help! How can this be possible? The first thing you need to do is lock down your server.
