If you are talking about your email-server being used to send spam, look up information

If you're fighting spam that you receive, spamassassin is probably a good idea. Or

I have little experience with sendmail, but for how to get postfix working with spamassassin,
this might help:  http://jessen.ch/articles/spamassassin-and-postfix
