But you can already do this. What's wrong with:
smtp_accept_max_per_host = \
${lookup{$sender_host_address}lsearch*{ ...
in the main configuration? I use this a *lot* to limit the
connections from hosts that appear to have run a dictionary searches
against my servers. It's quite effective when run with a tarpit as
well.
Use other search methods -- iplsearch, cdb etc -- if appropriate.
