I'm running postfix Release-20010228 on Linux 2.4.18.
It appears to me that a spammer is using my site to relay his spam to
many remote users.

The only messages that I can find that appear in any log file are in
the mail/info and the syslog files:

Apr 23 19:01:03 postfix/smtpd[20820]: connect from unknown[200.11.224.229]
Apr 23 19:01:05 postfix/smtpd[20820]: 69A081B808: client=unknown[200.11.224.229]
Apr 23 19:01:07 postfix/smtpd[20820]: disconnect from unknown[200.11.224.229]

Can someone tell me or point me in the right direction to finding out
how to stop this from happening?
