I have no idea how to stop this. Is anyone willing to help me out if I pay you?
I'm sure it's a simple config thing, but I don't know enough to be able to sort it out. As you can see, my linode is getting blacklisted by everyone.

Secondly, is postfix configured as an open relay? This tool might help.
Third, where did the messages come from? You might have to dig back through your mail logs to figure this out. Are you running a web server that runs executable code (e.g. PHP scripts, perl scripts, etc)? Are any of these supposed to send mail?
