Found these when I run netstat ... can someone tell me what these are and how I prevent them from using my server.

These domains aren't on my server as far as I know.

tcp 0 0 1server.com:http finalfantasy.main:46531 TIME_WAIT

Are you using cPanel

Yes I have WHM and Cpanel access ... one note I have a few clients that host with me but use theor own exchange server for mail ... will stopping this relays affect them also?

Main >> Server Setup >> Tweak Security

As long as your users have a usrname on the server, this should not affect them.

Good luck

This SMTP tweak will prevent users from bypassing the mail server to send mail (This is a common practice used by spammers). It will only allow the MTA (mail transport agent), mailman, and root to connect to remote SMTP servers.
