Disable relay in exim - centos 7

Hello everyone!

My server is sending thousands of unauthorized emails. And what I realized some robot takes advantage of exim's relay is open.

How do I restrict it?

I thank you all.

In over 9000 cases it's shell script:
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=8740#p28910

Thank skurudo,

With the help of another topic could not find the file that was sending the emails, I did remove it and will now follow.

Again, thank you.

Nice to hear! ;-)
Don't forget update scripts/plugins (if you have opportunity) to prevent this in future.
