Hmmmmm... How does scanning the outgoing messages generate an "Alert"? 
While it is in fact good to scan outgoing messages, I believe he wants 
notification that a client is comprimised or a Spammer, not just 
filtering.

Personally I use a different outgoing server with different rule sets 
than the MX. You can then set the rules to notify the sender that they 
have sent Spam/Virus, etc... and copy the postmaster (you).
