Exchange 2000 Server Being used to relay SAPM

  1. Default Exchange 2000 Server Being used to relay SAPM

    I have Exchange 2000 Server SP3 on Windows 2000 SP4. There
    are message in my Exchange Queues going to domain names
    are are random and are not being sent from any users
    within our domain. When I open the property of these
    messages, it states that it's sent from
    postmaster@mydomain.com with an Envelope Recipients as
    SMTP: very-randon@random.com. I get about 75 messages a
    day and want to know where these messages are coming from
    and how.

    First, where is the e-mail postmaster@mydomain.com address
    come from? It's not anywhere on my server.

    Second, I have the Default SMTP Virtual Server set to
    default, which MS calims, Open relay is closed. Right
    now, it's configured according to MS KB article 310380 and
    310356.

    Users receive many SPAM mails. one of the user receive
    SPAMs that are sent to (on the TO filed) an e-mail address
    that is not in our network and yet it's going into his
    mailbox, example, billy@mydomain.com. I don't see that
    the message was BCC either. How is this occuring?
