If you know the source IP, why not block it using ipchains/tables?

This is a qmail(-smtpd) question: you want to use softlimit and the -c
flag for tcpserver.  You will not have rejections, but your system
will not fall over.  Then, as the bombing is going on, put the IP the
bomb is coming from in the tcprules file with `deny'.
