ouch,

ok.

From my view, the primary way is to force the users to set new credentials
(if you really mean access credentials - like passwords). As a network /
email operator on the internet, by "netiquette" it is your responsibility to
minimize / block abusive traffic from your systems.

At least some countries have regulations by law forcing you to do this (at
least if you "get aware of").

Until that you may strongly ratelimit or block such users (if you could
identify them and if it is possible with your contracts / policies) to avoid
harm to others and (not at least) your own email system (reputation etc.).


best regards,


niels.
