AS/400 sending email

Hi Folks,
Curious thing happened last night.
My AS/400 (having an IP address for remote VPN access) sent out
1800 emails at 1:30 am. This information comes to me from the
"commutations guy" (not me) that handles the network. 
1) nobody that I know of sent the emails
2) can one see a log or some such to investigate
3) the comm guy said "someone hacked in and used the AS/400
to send email". My reply: this is supposed to be hard to do.
Am I really correct, faced with the above evidence?

Thanks
