The docs say the variable is expanded. Thus you could try something like:
The above uses the fact that a variable expansion is used with the
smtp_accept_max_per_host parameter.
So in this case I compare the server's IP to a known spammer IP (your could use
a database lookup here) and return 1 if it matches, and 9 if it doesn't. Which
would be the number of allowed connections of either class of users. Not that
I've seem more than 3 or 4 legitimate simultaeous connections on my boxes...
Also note: the docs say: Warning: When setting this option you should not use
any expansion constructions that take an appreciable amount of time.
Thus, I wouldn't use a DNS blacklist for example. But as long as the lookup time
is really short when compared to teh interval beteeen incoming connections there
should be no problem.
