Fail2ban always keeps count based on ip address, so counts from
different addresses can never be handled by fail2ban. You should apply
this kind of limit using a policy on your MTA.

Using postfix, you could write a simple policy daemon that is able to
keep track of the number of auth attempts per user (or per user per ip
address) over time. See http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_POLICY_README.html
for details.

Kind regards,
