How do I identify where local outgoing SPAM may be coming from in the SBS 2003 Exchange administrator interface?

I have a couple of clients using SBS 2003 with Exchange and when I look at the Queue's in the Exchange admin I am seeing SMTP connectors to foriegn domains (i.e. .it, .fr, .ru, etc..) and I know it is SPAM.

I found articles on how to freeze the connections and remove them but what I need to figure out is how to identify which machine(s) they are originating from. I have run AV and Root Kits scans on the PC's but have found nothing so I am hoping that Exchange will let me know where the email are coming from.

Thansk in advance for any help and suggestions!

You could temporarily turn on Archiving (in the Mailbox Store properties).  Create a dummy account (called Archive or such like) and set archiving of all emails to go to this account.  Then log on to the account (or use OWA) and check the copy of Sent emails.  When you have determined where the spam is coming from turn off archiving and delete the account.
