No pop or imap allowed, actually no external access allowed at all other
than BES and via webmail after accessing the Cisco's SSLVPN.  I wiped
his BB just for the heck of it.  Also put the latest SR3 patch and
Critical pdf patch on the BES.

If you suspect the account has become compromised, why have you not
changed the password yet. If the user has POP3 of IMAP  permission, you
can also disallow him from using it, in case it is coming from his home
machine, which may be left on all the time. If you change his password
in the morning, and the spam ceases, and then it starts again in the
evening, when he changes his password at home, you know where the spam
is coming from. If the spam stays stopped, it was coming from a third
party.
