This is just the wrong way to go about solving this problem. You need to trace it to its source and get rid of the source.

hello!
Well, i'd love to find out who. But i cannot see the maillog.
where is that?
thanks
Depends on the OS. Red Hat based distros put it in /var/log/maillog and Debian-based distros put it in /var/log/mail.log. You can look at the log in Webmin:System:System Logs module, or from the command line.

Find out who!
It's in the maillog. Every message sent through your server is logged. You can know which account sent the message and where it went just by looking in the log.
Then you can decide whether to close that account or bring legal action, if the offender is your customer, or if the offender broke into the account due to a weak password, you can reset the password to something stronger, and then keep an eye on system a little more closely in the future (and make sure your users have strong passwords!).
