As you can see in the picture above, sender @163.com is not even mydomain, he send spam mails to random addresses.
Was it my SMTP that got compromised and he send fake mail as me?
Does it dangerous for my pmg server or
Will my domain be blocked from google and yahoo?
 
This is the senders address, so I do not really understand your question.
as i said before that @163.com is not my domain, the sender is not listed in our LDAP user, for example, a @gmail sender send email to a @yahoo recipient, should not use my pmg server to comunicate

Again, those are incoming mails from an external sender (normal SPAM). The picture you posted only shows incoming mails from @163.com to your domain.

The you have either:

* a serious miss-configuration. Maybe you exposed the internal port to the internet (instead of the external port)?
* an internal spammer (check the sending IP address to verify that)?
