What does your contract say you can do? First and foremost
contact your legal department to ensure that you can cut
service within the parameters of the contract, or your
company can defend itself for terminating the contract
without cause.
Contact ISP X and ask for any complaints surrounding the
customer in question. Explain the situation to them, they
should be cooperative. If not, have your legal folks nag them.
What does your Acceptable Use Policy state in the area
of spamming, forged addresses, etc? If nothing, MODIFY IT
NOW.
Once you have a copy of some complaints (either directly or
from ISP X), that should be enough to take direct action.
