If you are on linux go into /var/logs/ and look at the exim logs
ls -l
the vi or pico which ever you use


CRAP - this was an old post dug up by Oracle sorry guys - we had the same problem from him over on host Search.

There is not much point in tracking spammers, they go from one compromized host to the next, there is not much you can do. Try to improve your spam filter instead and make sure the mails are sorted into Spam.

It depends on the server and what control panel it has, you can check the email logs or mail queue manager if it is a cPanel server.
