For spam to be spewing from your server, you would have to be infected by a 
Trojan horse, have an open relay, or a compromised proxy. You don't have an 
open relay. I don't know about the other two, but the odds are pretty low. 
The likeliest explanation is you've been Joe-jobbed- that is, a spammer is 
forging your return address. The only way to know for sure is to have a copy 
of the spam, with full headers, to examine.
