I'm sorry for the rather incomplete description but I do not understand so much about networks and so.
I have been noticed by network administrator that they had to remove my machine from the university network due to a systematic attempt to access port 25 and send emails from there every 45 minutes. THey told me the suspect I have either a trojan or somebody is using my mac. I remembered receiving an email with a postcard link and trying to open it with no apparent consequences. I checked online and I though I could really have a trojan, therefore I run a virus barrier x5 session but found no evidence of any viruses. my network administrator do not have any suggestions rather than format my hd and reload everything and they do not know anything about macs (!). I wonder what might be occurring. Could this be linked to me using Max Bulk mailer for christmas cards?
can anybody help me?

here's the description of my mac activity they provided me
