Look for 'authenticated &amp;lt;username&amp;gt;, session treated as local' in the logs.  If there's an account with a very high relative number of authentications in a given day, that is probably the culprit.  Change the password and see if that alleviates the abuse, and if the password does not appear easy to guess, also run a full system audit to make sure the IMail server has not been compromised.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;There are also other methods of forensic log analysis, but try the above first.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;--Sandy&lt;/P&gt;</description><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jul 2004 01:16:25 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Sanford Whiteman</dc:creator></item><item><title>being spammed, not sure how.</title><link>http://forums.ipswitch.com/Topic484-10-1.aspx</link><description>&lt;P&gt;I have the daily reports being emailed to me and all of a sudden the remote deliveries went from ~400 per day to around ~5000 a day the last 2 days.  I also find myself blocked from by users of spamcop.net.  I am looking through the logs which are now in debug mode.  What should I look for as to where these messages are being sent from?  I have the server set to No Mail Relay.  All my users have to authenticate to send mail.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks in Advance.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Joe&lt;/P&gt;</description><pubDate>Fri, 30 Jul 2004 14:29:58 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>joerake</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
