Good grief. What a 'holier than thou' attitude.

Not in the slightest ... you didn't mention you had customers that might be spammers (I won't touch that).

Based on your original post, it seemed to me that your primary problem
wasn't the spam going out, but that people were getting into your system
and sending spam.  That warrants tightening your security.

To be more specific we have had cases where user cgi scripts have been subverted into being spam senders. And yes we don't allow FormMail scripts that don't control the recipient list - but occasionally a user will upload a weak formmail script and then
we have a potential problem. Or possibly if we end up with a spammer as a user. So I am simply asking if there is a method we can use with qmail to SA check outgoing email and close this possibility.

Now that is a different story ... Although I still don't think setting up SA on your outbound email is a good aproach. Educating your customers, enforcing TOS when they violate, and possibly reviewing customer code before it's implemented would probably be better (I know that could be a major burden ... I'm a Sr. Developer for the company I work for and have to review other developers code frequently).

Mind you, I've never run an ISP, and security is not a major concern of
mine (I'm the only person using my system and [I think] I've locked it
down fairly well).    I do, however, keep an eye on what my systems are
doing ... so if they start doing something I don't expect, I can shut it
down (hasn't happened yet).

Best regards!
