I've tried the following condition which seems to work only on
request coming in at the same time.

${if = {${eval:$rcpt_fail_count}}{1}{yes}{no}}

But I get hit every 5 to 10 seconds from the same IP (even the IP
changes regularly after a while) for a different user address. Is it
possible to insert a delay, like 3 minutes to hosts that just tried
to hit a nonexistent user (Unrouteable address) - in the router
section? Or anyone has a suggestion on how to get rid of them?

Thanks

George
