You have two things you can do
a) Talk to your ISP and inform him that you are using a proxy on this
address and request that instead of them blocking the IP they inform you
about the abuse and request that you take the proper action.
b) Educate your users to get them to stop spamming others.
Note: Some webmail services include the X-Forwarded-For header in their
SMTP headers, allowing tracing of which user actually sent the email
even behind proxies.
