Well, I'm no lawyer, but I think if this guy is causing your company to lose the value associated with it's intangible assets ie, it's good name, then you can kill his account and let him go someplace else. If your company is a private company, then they can do business with anyone they want. Your company should also have some sort of legal representation even if it's only a small company. Otherwise it won't be in business too long if it doesn't. I would temporarily suspend his account and turn him over to your legal department and let them send him a threatening letter. If you have too many complaints about SPAM, your company as an ISP will find itself blacklisted and none of your customers will be able to send e-mail to companies that subscribe to dns black listing services.
