Exchange sending SPAM
Im running Exchange 2000 server. The mail queue keeps filling up with spam. Relay is not open. Guest account is disabled.
I even removed it from the network, and the queue continues to fill up. Have done a complete AV scan and nothing.
Also if i do find the problem, is there an easy way to clean the queue?
Please help.

changing authentication didnt help..... It almost seems as if somethings creating the emails from within that server... The server isnt even plugged into the network.
Have done a comlete scan with 2 different engines and both come up blank..

unplugging the server won't make this go away, those queues need to be emptied out manually.

Email is not queing whent he server is offline. What is happening is that email is being processed through your queues. You won't always see them in ESM even though they are there. There is a resource kit tool called MailQ you can use to get a better view of your queues.
Nothing with authentication, nothing with an open relay; This is a textbook dictionary attack.
