First of all, make sure that your server ISN'T the problem. Are
you running the latest version of Sendmail? Are the anti-spamming
and anti-relaying provisions in place? If you are an open relay,
you may be getting complaints. Or it could be that you are 
being used as a multi-level relay -- that is, if people are sending 
spam to one of your machines, which is relaying it to another of your
machines, which is then relayig it to the Net. If you can get samples
of the spam, you can see.

If your domain is simply being used in forged "from" addresses,
find some of the spam and complain to the ISP that's letting the 
spammer send it. You have a legal cause of action if they don't kick 
the spammer off their net. (AOL has won several cases against spammers
who used spoofed AOL "from" addresses, and has prodded quite a few
ISPs to take action against such spammers.)
