I'm so dumb! I've checked my server logs, but I don't really know what I'm looking for - how do I determine (if anyone knows) which IP is the offender?

Also, I've contacted my ISP - they told me to report it to their 'abuse' center, but even they can't figure out how this guy is doing it!! My sendmail program is set up properly, all of my security is in place - I guess my question is: HOW? How is this person able to spoof my server like this, without access to any of the secure areas of the server?
