Thank you for contacting Spamhaus CSS Removals,

A device (server, computer, mobile phone, etc), or an app on a device
that is using x.x.x.x. is infected, insecure or compromised. It is
making SMTP connections on port 25 with forged values.

To stop the abuse immediately, close outbound port 25 on the router or
firewall and restrict port 25 access to known email servers. Note: this
will only prevent the abusive connections from leaving your network.
If the problem is (for example) an infected mobile phone, when it moves
to another insecure network, it will resume its activity without restriction.

To find and eliminate the source of the problem, please see the our FAQs:

Is it a client machine spamming from the LAN?

Just to say that we blocked SMTP traffic going out except for the email server and scanned all of the PCs.

Didn't find any viruses but the blocking of the SMTP traffic seemed to stop the issue so it could've been a mobile device on the Wi=Fi sending out spam or something...?
