Am i being relayed

by anthonyc . Updated 25 years, 1 month ago

After doing some research on the net I thought I had my exchange server secured against mail relaying. This morning however I find this message in my inbox
?A mail message was not sent due to a protocol error.
572 Bounces are blocked due to systemabuse by spammers The message that caused this notification was:

To:
From: <>
Subject: Undeliverable: increased traffic generates sales
?

This scares the hell out of me. I someone using my server asa relay?
I run an WinNT Server with Exchange 5.5 SP3 behind a Firewall. What, other than the usual routing comnfigs in exchange can I do to protect myself and how can I tell if someone has used me a s a realay? Are there any monitoring tools out there to see if someone is abusing my server?
Thank you
Anthony
