1. Make sure you have accurate billing information on them, a good
credit card, a phone number you've actually called them back on, that
sort of thing.

2. Make it clear you'll charge some clean-up fee for spamming billed
at $250/hour 4hr minimum.

the first item is most important, spammers thrive on anonymity
(actually, fraudulent identity), if they feel your procedures don't
allow them anonymity/fraud they'll go somewhere else.

My question is this.  The company I work for has a no spam policy.  
Sometimes users do and of course we shut them off.  My own feelings asside 
its what is considered proper in the isp community so we do it with out 
question.  However, what is the best policy and procedure to prevent 
people from spamming in the first place and secondly if they do and get 
terminated fix the damage done.  I have no desire to support spam or 
enable spammers but there are bad users and sometimes they do.  Any 
positive advise on dealing with these guys above just turning them off 
would be helpful.
