We push all our outgoing mail from hosting servers through one of our
mail gateways using sendmail's smarthost config.
In sendmail.mc:
define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp.your.provider')

This has several big benefits:

1. We can keep an eye on what hosting customers are sending,
whitelisting them as appropriate, and help them with any legit issues
they have with mass mailing (double opt in list mail ONLY!).

2. The hosting server doesn't have to do the work scanning the mail
since the gateway box runs MailScanner/SA/ClamAV, etc.

3. Any spammer, who finds the latest header injection hole in some php
script is quickly identified, since a milter or SpamAssassin usually
finds such mail quickly - we watch the logs and notify with Nagios of
any serious issue.

4. Also, you can block port 25 outgoing (and other outgoing ports as
appropriate) to anything BUT the mail gateway, so no smtp engines on the
web server are permitted.

As a side note, I'd recommend also monitoring your IP space for any RBL
listings, setting up TOS feedback loops with AOL, etc... All part of the
hosting business these days..
