Sounds like the users where phished and from what I've heard, this is very

common at edu's.  You might want to check out installing something like 
Untangle which has an anti-phishing filter <http://www.untangle.com/> in 
front of your mail server(s).

If you're motivated enough to install a Linux based mail gateway you may
be 
able to use this nifty scanning software called Kochi which actually tries

to authenticate to your AD:

I guess there's some client based tools too to stem the flow of passwords 
through the browser, check out the Wikipedia article for a list of things
to 
try: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-phishing_software
