address allocated.

Even though we do not use all the IP addresses  form the pool of addresses
it specifically generating  spam form one of my system and ISP complained
that he is receiving lot of complaints regarding this as a result he has
blocked SMTP port as result of which i am missing out any cleint emails.


Any help will be greatly apprecieated.
