We're seeing a growing problem of spam being sent through our servers using compromised authenticated SMTP credentials.

We suspect that the credentials are being stolen using malware on the users' computers (over which we have no control).

Obviously we block the accounts as quickly as possible once we become aware of the problem, but typically by this point we'll be on multiple blacklists.

Does anyone have any suggestions for detecting and blocking, or at least limiting the impact of, such attacks?

We're currently considering rate-limiting, or trying to detect where a single user is using multiple IPs in quick succession.

thanks,

Paul
