spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam....Out of the box your
Exchange server is configured not to relay. So unless
you've enabled relaying there isn't anything to worry
about.

Unless you are having difficulty sending and receiving
mail with people you know, then I wouldn't worry about
it. It's spam trying to get ya. These messages are a
normal part of what Exchange does. It makes mail servers
follow the rules. Anyone who breaks the rules get replies
like the ones you listed. Typically you won't see these
messages. You have up the monitoring level on your
Exchange. If you are done troubleshooting I'd turn them
back down to none or minimal.

If you ARE having difficulty sending and receiving mail
then try this article as a starting point. It'll point
you in a lot of different directions for the solution.
