What trouble? SMTP requires two-way traffic with a static port number
that nothing else uses. If for some reason you don't want to simply
terminate their account altogether, block packets outbound to your
customer sourced from TCP port 25 but not from your SMTP smarthosts.

Seriously though, if you can prove they're spamming (regardless of
whether the packets pass through your network) save yourself some
grief and just terminate the account.
