Turba version 1.2.2. Kronolith version 1.1.2 and IMP version 3.2.6

I have blocked all spam source ip address in httpd.conf but the list is very
high and i dont want to block ip adresses from apache

Nobody of my costumers use their emails accounts for send several times the
same email. 

so my question is, how can i block to send this kind of email (very very
times per minute) in IMP?

best regards
Mario
