MS Exchange is allowing our site to be used as a spam server

We have recently been getting reports in our log files about outgoing
messages.  The messages are not originating from our site and there are
loads them!

It seems that anyone can connect to our SMTP port and send messages to who
they like.

There must be a setting in MS Exchange to stop people, outside of our site,
from using our server to send email.  Can anyone tell me how to do it?  MS
Exchange is a jungle as far as tabbed dialog boxes go and Help is rubbish.

Any help would be highly appreciated

Thanks

P.S.  If emailing, remember to remove the REMOVE-O-SPAM bit, you'll be
surprised how many people don't.

Upgrade to 5.5. In 5.5 you can tell IMS which IP-net(s) to accept outgoing
messages from (your net).

If you are not using POP3 or IMAP4 (with Exchange Server 5.5) clients, Go to
the Internet Mail Service Object in the Exchange Administrator and select
properties and then the Routing Tab.  Turn off SMTP rerouting.

Additional functionality was added with Exchange Server 5.5. You can read
the readme file for detailed information on how to configure the UCE feature
if you have that product.

In the firewal restictions of your router, you can deny all packets  trying
to access any port, not orriginating off your local subnets.
