A couple of thoughts:

1. Transparently proxy SMTP to your an MTA you control, which limits the number of simultaneous SMTP connections that it will accept.

2. Use a firewall (like netfilter, aka iptables) to rate limit outgoing smtp connections.

You could also put in some alerts if some of these threaholds are exceeded.
