I had one of my email users accounts compromised this morning and have
been thinking of what could have prevented hundreds of thousands of
spams from going out all within a 2 minute window.
Is there any way possible to limit the number of emails that a single
authenticated user can send within a specified period of time?
Fortunately I was awake and an alarm alerted me to an enormous mail
queue and I was able to quickly change the compromised password. But not
until over 400,000 messages got queued. I dumped the queue immediately
but time will tell how many blacklists my IP ends up on because of this.
