I have the server up and running and routing mail to the 3 users who are going to get mail and they are able to get it via POP3. My problem comes from the onslaught of messages from .hk and .tw email address either trying to send to my server or use my server as a relay.

This looks _very_ wrong. Please telnet from the box to
relay-test.mail-abuse.org and see whether you have built an open
