spam mail in qmail queue

socalheel

New Pleskian
I routinely notice multiple spam messages in the qmail queue and I don't know how to track how they are originating. Can someone give guidance?

Here is an example:

Code:
Received: (qmail 5897 invoked for bounce); 26 Apr 2014 11:02:21 -0400
Date: 26 Apr 2014 11:02:21 -0400
From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Subject: failure notice

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at myserver.net.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<[email protected]>:
MY IP ADDRESS failed after I sent the message.
