Not possible, at least not as easily as mod_throttle. You may want to meter their mail sending activity and bill them according to their usage. Of course, it is not an easy task either.

I suggest that you go with non technical solution first, such as updating your AUP and reminding the customer politely that they are consuming too much resources and becoming a burden on your side.

This is a rather complicated problem that won't have a quick and and easy technical solution (but please correct me if I'm wrong). For a few days coding, you might come up with a solution that meters their mail sending activity, and automatically block them if they exceed their limits.
