Subject: [exim] Unstoppable spam
Hi all,

One particular account on my server has been used to send spam repeatedly.
I have changed the account's password so many times now that I believe this
spam is not actually using their password for ASMTP, but probably a hole on
the system which I am not able to detect.
I am requesting for a 3rd to help me figure out how this could be happening.

The header below is from one such spam.

What weakness(es) is the spammer likely abusing?
