Perhaps this may be of help:

Of interest to you should be the per_cmd option to the ratelimit engine.
Mix it with your test for an invalid address so it will record a hit (based
on sender IP), and set your limits. After the ratelimit test, use a delay
of your choice.
Untested, but sounds plausible.
