Scott, it is possible a hacker found the password to the account, I've
spoken to Michelle (users are responsible for setting their own passwords)
and hers was as easy to guess as possible.
There are no users directly connected to the mail server. They are all set
up to use their ISP for smtp - in this case a local cable internet company.
I've verified that michelle has the cable's smpt server in her sendmail
setting. So I still have no idea of how she would show up as sending mail
from the server. She's even located about 1200 miles away, at a branch
office, and they are not on a vpn. In that case, since our SMTP setting is
No mail relay, I'm still looking for answers.
