To block an IP address, take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=38142&postcount=4 What's in /etc/postfix/main.cf (please strip out the comments)? Are there lots of messages in your mailqueue ( Code: postqueue -p )? You can test your system here if it's an open relay: http://www.spamhelp.org/shopenrelay/
