I am using sendmail. It will not allow open relaying. What I would
like to know is
how I can separate legitimate emails in the log from spam. All that
appears is the from:
<email> and the to:<email>.

In the past I have seen separate SMTP servers installed by viruses on
windows boxes
which are spamming away -independent- of sendmail. I have blocked port
25 from all
my connected windows boxes, but will that take care of it?
