Needs some more details, like why do you think you are sending out spam, what 
is your mail server (MTA) thats doing it?

If you have a badly configured MTA, it can act as a mail relay for others 
(normally a mail server has mail coming in to deliver to local users - 
possibly on a local lan, or mail going out from local users to the outside 
world - what you want to prevent is mail coming and and being send out 
again).  Most have simple ways of doing that.
