[exim] Feature Request: react on HTTP

Hi,

Everyone of us sees this in their logsfiles :

2021-05-06 11:07:57 no host name found for IP address 68.183.80.168
2021-05-06 11:07:58 no host name found for IP address 68.183.80.168
2021-05-06 11:07:58 SMTP call from [68.183.80.168] dropped: too many
unrecognized commands (last was "Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate")

2021-05-06 11:08:01 no host name found for IP address 68.183.80.168
2021-05-06 11:08:01 SMTP call from [68.183.80.168] dropped: too many

these are clients, that send "GET /..whatever HTTP/1.0"  as greeting.

I suggest:

not to wait for the usual error treshhold of smtp related errors, but
instead auto disconnect and block the IP for a few minutes , because, as
seen, they come back as often as you let them.

I think, that exim could be reliable detect and implement this without
breaking any existing config. As a result, the world will be a better
place and less hamsters got wasted in the cpus around the world. This
also is a small benefit for the worlds climate, by lesser consumption of
energy ;)


best regards,
