An inbuild solution would, anyway, trigger Exim and at least at the very
beginning of your experimentation, you'll have to log your rejects.

You'll then have a huge log anyway.

Depending on your choice:
- filter at IP level
- filter at application level
you'll have (I guess) several solution.

If me, I'd filter at IP level, based on some reject log information.
That's the job of fail2ban, but I dont know if it parses Exim logs.
