We have a python script that checks the Spamdyke logs every 5 minutes for users who have sent more emails than a predefined threshold. If they have, it automatically changes their password to a randomly generated one, immediately locking out the spammers who have access to their account. It then emails technical support so that they can contact the customer to get the problem resolved permanently. It's been great for us to have this place and most customers understand that we're actually protecting them, even if they are the ones who's accounts were compromised.
