Please do not remove the default anti-abuse rules found in the distributed squid.conf.
This is a tell sign that your proxy is configured as an open proxy allowing anyone anywhere to do anything, and that you are now abused by spammers to relay spam.
Suggested avion:
Review your http_access rules carefully, and see Squid FAQ Chapter 10 Access Controls.
