Can anyone please help me? I use a Macintosh-based server
(running OSX server software) and some JERK hacked into our
system and is using it to relay hundreds of spam email
messages per day. The person's IP is of course untrackable.

We just want to secure our server to stop this behavior.

Can anyone PLEASE help? We are desparate!

Txs.

:(

Close the relay.

Wow, consider yourself lucky if only hundreds a day are going out, how are they being sent? Directly through your outgoing mail server, through a script via your web server? You really need to get a competent systems administrator to look at it, they're cheap these days.

Unplug the ethernet cable. Survey the system to ascertain how it happened. Figure out how to fix it. Scrub the system as you never know what else they did. Re-build it, fix the previous issue, plug in ethernet.
