Here's an idea for plugin:
Check if the same message has already been received in the last n hours
(a combination of message-id, sender and recipients should be
sufficient). If it is a duplicate, reject with an appropriate message
("550 You already sent me that message" or something like that).
If the data_post+queue time is related to the length of the message
(this isn't true for spamassassin, for instance) the size limit for this
client could also be reduced to just below the size of the current
message. Next time the client sends such a long message, it will be
rejected right away.
