Hi,

I have a postfix-3.0.5 system with a few hundred users. They have
access to submission, webmail, and dovecot to send and receive mail.

On occasion, user's local desktop are compromised, and with it their
account on this system. This leads to their local desktop using the
submission service to send hundreds or thousands of spam emails
through this compromised account.

They're only stopped after the user receives a ton of bounce messages,
or we happen to see it somehow while watching logs.

What mechanisms are available to say, control the number of messages
sent per day or otherwise be made aware of a pattern of messages being
sent by an account that could be indicative of account compromise?

Thanks,
Alex
