  Hi Bart,
  
  Thank you kindly for this.
  So, what you're saying is that someone managed to guess the user password 
  for that specific
  XMail
  account (which BTW, the password was the same as the user ! - whoops !) and 
  managed to
  do his worst ?
 
 Or, it is that user itself that sends SPAM.

Hi Davide,

No, no way. Users have achieved such level of mentality as to not do damage to 
their
own system :-)
This is definitely automated by someone from the outside.
How he managed to get access to the mailserver on the DMZ, I am still trying
to find that one out (If I even find anything).

Thanks,

s.

Well, if the password was same as user, that's the first thing brute force 
methods try.
