Just because you don't have viruses doesn't mean that a misconfiguration
of your MTA* will cause you to be an open relay and allow others to use
you to send spam.
* or perhaps you run a web server or other open service on the same box
that could be hijacked? Maybe some Windows systems on your network that
could have a virus?
