Open Relay

I found out that my server is open relay server. How do I close it. I would
like to secure/close my Open relay (SMTP) Exchanger 2000 server. Please help
me.

Thanks,

By default E2k is not an open relay. What makes you think it is?

Yes, by default, Exchange 2000 server is not open for
Internet relay.
