Generally not; it usuallly means a domain name on your server is being used by a spammer. The spammer is most likely not on your server; just hijacking a domain name. There's not much you can do except perhaps change defaults in exim.conf so undeliverable emails will be frozen/deleted more quickly than they are now.

This is standard for DirectAdmin mail servers.

thank you, but i want to ask.
if i just want to limit my ip's can send mail by smtp. and the other can't send mail by my ip. how can i do?

may i do that in /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow ?

Do you mean that you do not even want your own customers to use your server to send mail?

no. i mean i just want only my server can send mail.(my customers they just only using webmail on my server).

I suppose you can make changes to exim.conf so it'll only accept email for delivery on the sever, and never accept mail for delivery off the server. I haven't studied the changes you'll have to make; you're on your own.
