 How about using a combination of technical and "social"

measures to count the total number of outbound SMTP sessions 
and charge 1$ per Email over an average rate of 2 
Emails/minute and 10$ per Email exceeding a rate of 10 per minute

So the person who connects after sitting on a plane for 5 hours gets
charged extra because the laptop bursts 50 messages ... There is no
automated technical approach to a social problem. Public executions
would be much more effective than preventing legitimate customers from
getting their job done.
