Version of Exchange would help here.
Depending on the version of Exchange depends on what you need to do.

Exchange 2003 is very different to Exchange 2007/2010.

You should also identify which account is being abused to send the spam as well. You can do that from the event viewer.

From event viewer can see which account abused to send spam ?
You need to state which version of Exchange it is first.

There are currently six versions of Exchange in active use (some more than others) and they all work in different ways.
