Protect my server from SPAM sent ... by MY OWN USERS!!!

Hi,


I've detected one of my customers that is sending hundreds of thousands of spam emails with his account on my server. I do not support any form of spam on my server, so i've told him that if he does it again, i'll kick his butt with a baseball stick.

But rarther than this, i want to implement some sw protection if possible. So the question is:

Is possible to limit the mails per day or per hour in plesk , so i can be sure that noone is sending more than, let's say 1000 emails per day?
 
There are a few options, if you're using postfix policyd can be used to put a quotas around what a user/domain/server can send in a specific time period. In qmail you can use qmail-scanner to scan outbound mail for spam (highly useful for catching spam attacks on web scripts)
