We find that a combination of the following helps:

1) Sign up for feedback loops, such as the AOL, Comcast and oad Runner feedback loops will really help finding when someone is actually sending spam.
2) Sign up for SNDS from Windows Live, and check often.
3) Set a maximum number of emails that can be sent out in 24 hours. If someone does spam, you can look in the Exim mail logs for any domains that have exceeded this.
4) If you do get reports of spam, check for any CGI scripts running (the most common cause we have found for spam is a user with a trojan on their computer, which allows a spammer to upload a dark mailer cgi script).
