My boss in his infinite wisdom decided it would be "cool" if we hosted our own e-mail. I put together a machine and after a bit of research was able to get Post.Office running. This works fine( except for the times when he has played with the system and crashed it ) but I suspect that our server is being used to relay spam. Unfortunately I don't know exactly what to look for in the logs generated by Post.Office to understand if that's the case. When first started the program generated a log of about 1 meg in a day, now it's up to 50+, needless to say it doesn't take long to clog the system at that rate. So...anybody here know a enough about this to lend a hand?
