how about something like that

---------------------------------------

acl-part (must be AFTER the recipient verification)
deny condition = ${if and {\
   {!eq {} {${lookup {$sender_host_address} dbm {reject.dbm}{$value}}}} \
   {> {extract {1}{:}{$value}}{5}} \
  } \
}
      message = Blocked because of too many tries to send to a non
existing address


---------------------------------------

last router-entry

catch_spammer:
driver = redirect
data = ${run {/etc/exim/add_spammer.pl \
$sender_host_address}{:fail:}{:fail:}}
allow_fail
verify_only
verify_recipient

---------------------------------------

add_spammer.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use DB_File;

my $ip = $ARGV[0];
my $leasetime = 60*60*24;

# Add some exim-like locking here

tie my %spammers, '/etc/exim/reject.dbm' || die 'UhhUhh';

if (exists $spammers{$ip}) {
   my ($count,$time) = split(':',$spammers);
   if ($time+$leasetime <= time()) {
     $spammers{$ip} = '1:'.time();
   } else {
     $spammers{$ip} = ++$count . ':' . time();
   };
} else {
   $spammers{$ip} = '1:'.time();
};


untie %spammers;

----------------------------------------

Proof-Of-Concept, like everytime, totaly untested, and just written down.
