If you POP your server your authenticated. It doesn't ask for a password
to SMTP. If your email program is checking mail, you can SMTP if you
have POP b4 SMTP. I recall a bug where POP b4 SMTP wasn't turning off
even when you uncheck it.

To see if your server is being used to relay spam, you need to see the
complete headers of any spam and compare that to both your
/var/log/maillog for the times in the headers and /var/log/httpd/access
to see if there's a CGI script being used to do the relay.
