You may need to. Grep is your friend. > Can someone please tell me how I can determine how he is sending the spam?

Spam is sent from a local process, that telnets to localhost. Mail
generated locally generally can be relayed anywhere, so this bypasses
anti-relay ACLs.
Search your ps output for processes that look suspicious. The port used
by the process is listed in the logs, you can use the netstat program to
see more easily which process is using that port. In case the whole
operation is too fast, configure exim to add delays to the SMTP
transaction so you can have time to run a netstat.
Do your users have shell access? Because if not, your system was
probably invaded, and that's not good.
