Hopefully, you do say that you don't allow the sending of SPAM from your
customers. You can then route all your dialup users through a ipmasq firewall
and make sure a line like this is in the firewall's rc files:
/sbin/ipfwadm -I -a accept -P tcp -S 10.0.0.0/8 -D default/0 25 -r 25
Now, anything they try to send to port 25 anywhere will be intercepted by qmail
on your firewall and you can filter it out yourselves only allowing outgoing
mail with sender domains which belong to your customers. You aren't
stopping legitimate SMTP traffic, you're simply keeping your customers honest.
