I would think that simply requiring some appropriate amount of irrevocable funds (wire transfer, etc) for a deposit that will be forfeited in the case of usage in violation of AUP/contract/etc would be both sufficient and not excessive for allowing port 25 access, etc.
Until you find out that the source of those supposedly irrevocable funds was stolen or fraudulent, and you have some sort of court subpoena to give it back. I don't believe there is a way for you to outwit the scammer/spammer by making them pay more of their or someone elses money. If you have what they need, they'll find a way to trick you into giving it to them.
