1) log traffic from the soon-to-be-ex-customer (acl logs are fine)
2) pick an external 'top talker'
3) route that /32 to a host you control
4) run NC on the port that /32 is being contacted on
5) rejoice (and shut now ex-customer interface) when you see: "CONNECT
smtp.xxxxx:25"

Seems like a lot of work when you could just setup a monitor session on
their port and capture a few minutes of actual spam traffic as evidence just
before shutting their port.

sorry, can't do monitor on a ptp oc-12 link :(
