We are transitioning our users over to Google Apps  for EDU.  We currently 
user a barracuda Spam and Virus Firewall for inbound and outbound traffic 
to our local mail servers.  Our users get a good amount of phishing scam 
e-mails and a small percentage of them respond and spammers take control of 
their e-mail.  This makes us a spam source and sometimes our e-mail domain 
gets blacklisted.  One thing we have been able to do to with the barracuda 
is that it sends alert messages when the mail queues reach a certain 
threshold.  When we see this we can check the queue and see if it's coming 
from one of our users and we suspend their account and get in contact with 
them and reset their password, ask them if they remember responding to a 
particular e-mail or form, etc.

So, the question I have is this.  Once we switch over to Google for our 
e-mail (and our barracuda is not longer filtering traffic), is there any 
mechanism via API or domain management interface that can give me some 
similar information.  Maybe the total messages sent from a particular 
account over a period of time or something similar that might help us 
determine that a compromise has occurred and on which account so that we 
can take action to notify that user?  Is there any process that Google has 
that might notify domain admins of compromised accounts?

How do others handle these situations?

Thanks,
 -Tomas
