Please allow me a moment to ask:
Does it make any difference whether your customer actually originated the
offending msgs?
Couldn't such a spamset come from one of their competitor?
Or a chat room hacker that got pissed off?
I understand AUP regarding what actually happens on an account.
Unless the "throwaway" account can be tied to your customer,
then I don't understand the justification for compromising
service.
(I personally don't find "it's generally true", or "it's too much trouble",
or "the end justifies the means" to be especially convincing arguments.)
