So is there any solution for this? We can't use safe_mode in php,

A couple of thoughts:
1. Transparently proxy SMTP to your an MTA you control, which limits the
number of simultaneous SMTP connections that it will accept.
2. Use a firewall (like netfilter, aka iptables) to rate limit outgoing
smtp connections.
You could also put in some alerts if some of these threaholds are
exceeded.
