I recently had a compromised mailbox, spammer, that went unnoticed.
I had a rule for outgoing spam mail, level 5 spam, to send to quarantine and notify
The spammer didn't trip this outgoing mail rule. Eventhough he was sending 1000+ mails with multiple recepients..
All the mails that he sent were delivered, some ( 1000+ more ) went to deferred mails, i guess waiting for queue there.
I disabled his mailbox, and his AD account but he was still sending mails until i flushed the deferred mails.
I want to be able to receive a notification, once a user sends more than 20 mails a day, or sends a mail to more than 40+ recipients, Since this seems like the best defending against spam.
Or maybe i should lower my outgoing spam level ( it is 5, maybe lower it to 3, eventhough i had a lot of false positives when it was set to 3 before )
If its needed i can open a case also.
Thanks
