If they say you are spamming demand proof, if you really are they'll be able to produce proof simply enough.
You shouldn't have to convince them that you aren't, the old "when did you last beat your wife" question springs to mind. I presume you're on a leased line or something "permanent", not ADSL/Cable or something with a dynamic IP? I've used Xwall and Postfix in front of Exchange, I'm sure Exchange is secure enough but I have to say the level of configuration and logging these two offer is streets ahead.. might be worth a look? When all is said and done Chris is right, if your ISP is that stupid you need a new ISP.
