Ok, I think you can do something like this:
smtp_accept_max_per_host =
${lookup{$sender_host_address}lsearch{/usr/exim/smtp_accept_max_per_host.hosts}{$value}}
and then in /usr/exim/smtp_accept_max_per_host.hosts you put something
like this:
192.168.0.1:10
*:2
Which means 192.168.0.1 gets 10 connections, and everyone else gets 2.
You can then just keep adding IP addresses with additional connections
at the top.
I think I've got the syntax, but if its wrong, please correct me.
