Does Apache James provide any best practice for DDoS/DoS protection? I mean
it is at application level.

fail2ban can be very effective with a mail exchanger.

There are some notes here

https://dmatthews.org/webmail.html#fail2ban

but there it's being used with exim4.

So you would have to study your log file, decide what you want to keep out and then write a fail2ban filter to suit, so you'd have a fair bit of work to do to get it operational.
