Well I've been testing my server for mail relaying all day yesterday, It seemed to pass fine and Clam seem to have stopped most emails. I think the main problem with most of these virus's are users and I am more concerned with people that bring there laptop's into work and put them on my network then the e-smith letting them in. Yesterday my Domain was hit with a lot of bogus emails, today seems to have come to almost a stop.

How do I test for relaying?

Some are shut down because of abuse, but i just went through google and ran a bunch of different ones.

Thanks for all that!  I appreciate your quick response.

It doesn't actually say 'infecting' UNIX fileservers.  It only infects MS Windows computers.  It has affected my server - I put a screen on it, and every now and then delete the contents of /var/spool/amavis-ng/quarantine  I also turned off bouncing for unknown recipients, since the virus seems to make up the names for sender and recipient, most of the bounces were bouncing back again.

How do you stop the server from bouncing the unknown recipients mail?
