I looked into the exim log and I can see here about 1000 messages out-going per 5 min'...!
I see that there are a lot of Exim tasks runing.
The load get to 1.60 from 0.20 :\

How can I find out who is the spammer?
How can I block out-going spams?

thx
 
Go to your DA admin panel then to the Log Viewer.

Read Exim mainlog. The last lines are on the bottom of this file.

At your place, I would stop Exim while investigating this issue. Your data center can take it bad and disconnect your server for spamming activities.

If you stop Exim, no one can send any email trough your server.

Go to :

DA >>> Service Monitor >>> Exim Stop

Then, read carrefully your Exim log and Exim erros log. You will be able to find the user name of this spammer. When found, suspend it, and restart Exim.

Well documented but you forgot all the mail that would have been cached while exim is not running... You're right in that your server will not send or receive mail but users can still log in and send mail, this sent mail will be cached on the server until exim is starten again, then the mail will be processed.
