I dont believe you understand the problem,

You say you dont know the domains of your users, but you _DO_ know the
domains of the spammers?

I think you should employ someone the knows what to do to secure that

Please tell me that this is a joke?

Please post your IP addresses so that I can ensure that your mail server
does not cause any problems for me or my customers.

Thankyou
