How to properly filter outgoing e-mail?

How to properly filter outgoing e-mail?

I have a platform consisting of many web servers doing shared web hosting.
These servers run Linux and host tonnes of Wordpress, osCommerce, Joomla
and other open source website platforms.
Every now and then (read: several times every day) one of these sites get
owned, malicious code is injected and the spamming begins.
I have already taken various measures to prevent this, but it seems like
these attacks are escalating more and more.
Therefore, my question is to other sysadmins caring for large scale shared
hosting platforms: How do you filter (and report?) outgoing e-mail from
your web servers? The e-mail that is sent when users in e.g. PHP uses the
mail() function or the localhost SMTP server.
