You can use this site:

http://www.abuse.net/relay.html

In system manager, go to the properties for your SMTP virtual server, then go to the Access tab. Click on the relay button, you should have "Only the list below" selected and no servers in that box except for any servers that you do want to be able to relay. I am guessing none, so it should be blank. The check box below, "Allow all computers which successfully authenticate to relay, regardless of the list above", should not be checked.

This configuration is to not allow any servers to relay. Of course, if your setup and requirements are different then you will have to tweak these directions.
