Two far better ways to accomplish this.

Carry out regular scans on your customers (for port 25, and also other
rubbish like open SOCKS / HTTP-CONNECT proxies, security holes etc ... all of
which make you liable to be relayed through)

Block port 25 outbound on all customer machines initially - forcing them to
smarthost through a (heavily filtered) smart host mailserver ... run DCC
(http://www.rhyolite.com/dcc/ or something on this)

If a client shows he / she can be trusted to run a mailserver (aka he knows
to run unix, or maybe MacOS, and secure his install ...) then relax port 25
outbound blocking requirements for the client.
