Have you thought about fail2ban, not just classic firewall rules, but 
closing smtp accounts if successful smtp logins come from different IPs 
in a very short time period, possibly combining with geoip? Beside 
ratelimits this might be a way to block abusing accounts. I posted that 
question on fail2ban list today.

Ciao!
