You could try "sending spam" from external system. This would mean
attempting to connect to the server from the outside and send mail to an
external account.
Since SMTP is the same port for send as it is for recieving, there is
every chance that someone will attept to send mail to an external
address. The only thing you can do is configure how the mail server
handles it.
Normally people drop these emails. However, it is possible that this
server has been sending it to an "admin" account. It is also possible
that the email is being sent to a catch-all account.
That's the extent of my skills, maybe someone who knows the particular
software better may be of more help. Have you tried the normal channels
of support for the server software?
