If you are paying attention to the activities of the clients on your network,
you will know who the outright spammers are, who are doing some unwise things
and can potentially be guided into good practices, and who has been doing it
right, from the beginning (or straightened up their act after their knuckles
got whacked with a ruler).

Every morning at GreenArrow, I examine about 20% of our "cloud" customers:
their volume and distribution, their open rates, their first- and second-stage
failure rates, the reasons for those failures, the 4xx and other deferral
rates, their feedback complaint rates, and any stuff coming into abuse@ for
this CX.  I send my findings upstairs, and on a number of occasions, sending
has been abruptly halted, and a pro-rated refund of the most recent invoice
amount sent to the affected CX.  If they show up on Spamhaus CSS, or certain
other blocklists, this nearly always calls for the Magic Kiss Of Death packet
in their morning email.

YMMV.
