Thanks for the ORDB thing,
I just email them to test our mail server again. (It's not open RELAY anymore by the way)
Well, it was the first time we got Imail and on the second day, we got spammed. Now, we're currently watching the mail transfer and usage with the program called "domlist.exe" by declude.com.
I must admit, it's very very useful.
For my problem again, I pasted the log files here, and honestly I don't get much information from it?
Thanks for any help..
