I'm unclear on whether your system is originating the spam
(not SPAM; that's a trademark for a food product), or is
a relay. Do your logs indicate that these messages are
received from elsewhere? If so, you need to look at your
relaying policies. Otherwise, you need to find the
method used to inject the messages on your system and
close that down. Do you trust that your system has
not been subverted?
In the meantime, I suggest you should firewall the outbound
smtp port externally.
