You really need to find out the nature of the complaint.  Did the person
claim that spam was delivered via your machine?  Did they provide
message headers to back up that claim?  If so, then the first place to
check is your mail logs.  Or were they just claiming that some email
address at your domain was spamming?  If that's the case, then it's
probably a case of forged headers and there's nothing you can do about
it.  The vast majority of spam I get comes of Asia yet claims to be from
an address @msn.com or similar.
