        Looks like some bottom-feeding spammer tried to use your mail
system as a third-party relay.  Worse, it looks like the attempt was
successful.  You're probably going to get some pretty rabid hate mail from
the victims of the spam run soon, if not inclusion in the ORBS database.

        If you use Berkeley sendmail, update your relay ruleset.  You can
also switch MTAs by going with Qmail (http://www.qmail.org) or Postfix
(http://www.porcupine.org/postfix-mirror/start.html).  Your call.
