Phishing E-mail Uptick???

["Gibson, Nathan J. (HSC)" <Nathan-Gibson () OUHSC EDU>]

Is any other campus just getting slammed with phishing e-mails? Specifically e-mails that say: "You have exceeded the 
size of your mailbox please login here to request a size increase".

Then once the user gives their credentials away the attackers connect through outlook web access and sends out 10's of 
thousands of e-mails with that user's account causing all my smtp servers to get blacklisted.

I know this happens and we see it occasionally, but the last week has been insane. It's just been wave after wave.  
Just wondering if any other campus has seen an uptick in this attack as of late?

Also, if you wouldn't mind, could you share with me the products and/or methods you use to "rate limit" user outbound 
e-mails. Meaning......jdoe () somecollege edu can only send out 100 e-mails per hour.
