Well, the logs will show. Also, you can open up ESM and under the SMTP VS,
look at the queues. If you see an awful lot, you are probably an open relay.
Also, if you post the IP address of the server, it can be tested.

Rename the log. Wait a few minutes and it will be recreated. Then rename
when maybe a few MB in size. Then you can open it.

open it?

Well, what do the logs say? They record the activity that's taking place.
Could be dictionary attack, could be you're being used as a spam relay.
Look at the logs.

I've been using Exchange 2000 for 2 years already and upgraded it to 2003
for months now. Yesterday, SMTP log to reached 4GB and increasing. As a
temporary remedy, I disabled the SMTP logging. What do you think have
caused the problem and how can I solve it?
Thanks.
