It just occured to me that with a large spam run the mail would be in mailq so the timestamp would be different. You might grep for that domain with /*.cgi or just look for .cgi or .pl scripts owned by that user. Or any executable file owned by that user.

I deleted the user jenns and created another but gave the same email 
address to (jessie (at mark) nomealaska.org). Still having the same problem, 
rather immediately after making the change. It looks like the user is 
still trying to send maybe spam to hedgerowsrvrk83 (at mark) lexoria.com and the 
actual user is on vacation, inactive, and her computer is off. Still 
getting the Authentication-Warning (at the bottom) for this account only 
(out of about 25).


Here's some maillog with grep the user (I've changed names to protect 
the innocent):
