Would interest me too, good idea! Do you think changing IPs on a 
smtp-auth account is a good hint of abuse? What if all spam is sent from 
one IP, e.g. if a users notebook is infected by a virus and uses your 
smtp relay to send spam. May be a hard limit number for a user account 
combined with changing IPs and/or geoip.
