Thanks, Todd, Shirley, Paul and Rich.
Eventhough we already had SP2 for the Exchange server, obviously we
didn't do the necessary steps to prevent spam mails. We are now
working on it. I really appreciated your help specially today and in
this case because my IT staff is on vacation and I am not an IT
expert.
Thanks again.
