You first need to check the logs of the email server (general sysadmin
rule: first, read the logs). You will find out whether the email
server sends spam itself (because it has been compromised) or whether
it is just used as a relay, by outside machines (if you leaved the
server open) or by inside machines (and you will get their IP
addresses in the log, so you can chase after them and kill them).

Warning: this is complicated work and should be done by a senior
sysadmin, not by a beginner.
