I have 2 issues I need to clear up
I have checked and rechecked with several online sites to see if we are an open relay and we aren't but it sure seams as though our server sends out a LOT of email every day. We only have about 7 users but the log says that there are thousand of emails being sent out every night

I Also get a lot of Mail Delivery Subsystem emails with failed delivery attempts which leads me to believe even more that somehow we are an open relay, I just received this one and I know no one here sent it because I have been working alone here for the past seven hours.

We are still getting hammered with spam I have several thousand emails that I used to teach SpamAssassin what we consider spam but it doesn't seam to be helping
