Learn from my mistake:

As detailed in a previous note, a bunch of mail failed on my SIMS backup server. To 
keep clients from losing this mail, mail that had already been bounced, I edited these 
hundreds of messages to eliminate the top 3 or 4 lines and dropped them into the 
Submitted folder to get them moving again.

Unfortunately, I didn't realize it at the time but one of the messages was a spam that 
included several valid addresses at domains I host. The other recipients were at other 
domains, domains that I do not host. In editing and submitting this particular 
message, I therefore relayed spam to those domains. I'm hoping it will go unnoticed 
and not get my backup server blacklisted...

If you find yourself in a similar situation, pay attention to whom the mail is 
addressed!
