    Default Best way to determine which user is sending spam

    Hello

    It appears that someone is sending out some nasty spam through my server. I am wondering what the best method is to track down the culprit?

    It is an exim mailserver.

    Here is a snippit of the mail header:


    ******-0008SM-T4-H
    mailnull 47 12
    <>
    1064792937 0
    -ident mailnull
    -received_protocol local
    -body_linecount 66
    -localerror
    XX
    1
    ******@bellsouth.net

    151P Received: from mailnull by shark.****.*** with local (Exim 4.20)
    id ****-0008SM-T4
