Don't terminate them, just charge by the packet.  Free up to a certain
number, then exponentially.  "10000 pieces of spam today?  That will
be 2^(10000-500) yen, please ... enter your valid credit account
number here."  The number can be as big as any reasonable person
needs, and if you're a mailing list or something like that you make
arrangements with the ISP in advance.
