Rich,
I shut down the smtp server, and the usage drops as you state. How do I
determine what is using it and fix or restrict it? Right now I am running
at .4 as compared to about 64. When I restart it, it goes back to high
usage.

I agree with others that a spammer has commandeered your server and is
relaying
mail through it. You won't see any mail traffic locally, but the high
utilization in these jobs is a clear indicator. I've had this happen to me.
You can proove it by shutting down SMTP (command: ENDTCPSVR *SMTP) for a
little while and see if the problem goes away. If this is it, then you will
have to reconfigure SMTP on your system to only allow limited relaying.
