This would be 2000 messages... your policy should reflect this value.

This depends on the ISP and the arrangements with the ISP and customer.
Generally I would say no, not with out permission. However... This would need
to be in your TOS/AUP.

I believe that there may be a patch to limit the number of rcpts per message
to a number... but you may also want to look at the tarpit patch the injects a
delay between the each RCPT command in the SMTP conversation. See
http://www.palomine.net/qmail/tarpit.html
But really the best way to control this is with a strong TOS/AUP please see
http://spam.abuse.net/aup.html for some possible examples.
