Accepting mail in a catch-all is going to take more resources than 
refusing the messages with a "User unknown" error.

By "DoS", I'm guessing that your server is reaching its maximum number 
of SMTP sessions?  If so, take a look at actual resource utilization. 
Check the amount of memory and CPU time that the processes are taking, 
and look at the number of open files.  If you still have available 
resources, then the best thing to do is probably to simply increase the 
maximum number of connections you'll accept.  The defaults are extremely 
conservative.  Most servers can handle considerably more.
