Is there a way to throttle the number of connections an IP address makes to
exim _while_ always allowing a subset of IPs to connect?
The problem I have is my secondary MX hosts are being pounded by the spammers,
so I turned down my smtp_accept_max and smtp_accept_max_per_host.
Now my logs show
2003-10-29 19:53:35 Connection from <legit IP> refused: too many connections
I'd like to throttle the number of connection for all IPs, but always allow
connections from a subset of known IP blocks to get through.
