[SLUG] Postfix SNAFU

Folks, I have been banging my head against a problem over the last few days.
My web server uses postfix to send mail to other machines -- logs, mail sent
from web forms, etc. It shouldn't need to accept or relay mail from the
outside. Somehow it will accept mail on the nobody account and will relay
to any cc or bcc addresses. That functionally allows spammers to relay
through the server. I can't figure out how to turn this off. I thought I
had shut off relaying in the main.cf file, but I must be missing something.
Any ideas?

Thanks,

Stephen Ames
