difuntos,

This is a fairly common occurence that anyone who has run a webmail server 
for any length of time has probably seen before.

All it takes is for one user to have their password compromised and the 
spammers can login to the squirrelmail server,  change the "from" address 
to anything they like, and start sending out their spam from your server.

You will need to login to that server and find out which accounts are 
compromised and change the passwords on those accounts.

Your httpd logs might be able to help.

Installing and activating the Squirrel Logger plugin may be able to help 
you as well.  http://squirrelmail.org/plugin_view.php?id=52
