I can block port 25 outgoing for the locals and make them use our SIMS server.... but since they're legal users of our server, is there anything I can do beside paying close attention to detect if some genius tries to do outgoing spam through us?With SIMS your options of this are limited. With other mailservers you can set maximum number of connections, or even maximum numbers of total outbound emails. You can also set maximal BCCs, although spam software desn't seem to use that anymore, or you can force return addresses to be local to your domain.
even so, none of this will take the place of a draconian terms of service agreement and due diligence.
The TOS should mandate HUGE penalties for spamming (say, $500/spam) and full cooperation with any victims of spoam in states where it is illegal.
