Rate limiting?

Recently, we have been victim of a phishing attack (read
http://www.amazon.com/gp/blog/A1XJVH38GHOSHB for details).

I noticed that the squirrel_logger plugin does actually log:

11/19/2008 22:11:43 [MASS_MAILING] idiotuser (charite.de) from 65.49.2.93 (65.49.2.93): Total 340 recipients

but 

a) It doesn't notify postmaster, although I configured it to do so

$sl_send_alerts = array(
      'MASS_MAILING'  =>  "Possible outgoing spam: by %2 (%3) at %4 on %6: %7",
);
$sl_alert_to  = array(
      'MASS_MAILING' => '[email protected]',
);

b) Logging is fine, but it would be cool to actually BLOCK the user
   from sending mail for e.g. 15 Minutes.

Thoughts? Are there other ways to prevent mass-mailing?
