I'm going to reply here instead of picking on any reply. .. As far as I can tell there is absolutely no requirement under the law to forward these at all. But please talk to a lawyer.
You have to have an AUP which provides for termination of repeat infringers, but it doesn't say that you have to terminate repeat alleged infringers. You need to decide whether you feel forwarding these on are a service you want to provide to your customers or not. I would guess you'd likely have more liability risk from one of your customers suing you for not passing these on (after they are sued themselves) than from the copyright holders which don't seem to have a leg to stand on in making a service provider forward these. I'd also be very careful when passing these on to avoid making a judgement or giving advice. Note that the above only applies to Internet connectivity and not to something like hosting as an example, which has different rules. Again, I'm not a lawyer so the advice above may be wrong, but it is based on various discussions over the years which ended up coming to this conclusion.
