SMTP Flooding - How can I stop it?

Please someone help! My SMTP server has been under attack for days and I'm at my wits end. I'm by no means a UNIX security expert but I've been reading and researching for days to no avail. I'm getting unauthorized mail from external servers being relayed or redirected through my SMTP server. The IP addresses change on almost every connection. I can post log excerpts and config file info if necessary. I just don't know what would be relevant. This is a virtual dedicated server from godaddy.com running RedHat Fedora and PLESK admin control panels. I really need help so anyone who might have any ideas or suggestions, please respond! Thanks everyone.
