Check who is the user with uid=507 to see how they managed to use your mail server for spam.

Thanks for your Reply.

user id 507 assigned to vpopmail.login is /sbin/nologin.

Please advise me.

Hi,

It looks like one of your virtual users (they have the vpopmail uid) account was compromised. Usually that means a weak password.
You can check the logs for the ip that start with 183.87 to see what username was used

Regards
