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.

calibre-smtp [options] [from to text] DESCRIPTION
Send mail using the SMTP protocol. calibre-smtp has two modes of operation. In the compose mode you specify from to and text and these are used to build and send an email message. In the filter mode, calibre-smtp reads a complete email message from STDIN and sends it. text is the body of the email message. If text is not specified, a complete email message is read from STDIN. from is the email address of the sender and to is the email address of the recipient. When a complete email is read from STDIN, from and to are only used in the SMTP negotiation, the message headers are not modified. Whenever you pass arguments to calibre-smtp that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks. OPTIONS
