Nope because it's still letting the connection in the door and eating
resource.  It's the difference between 

--8<--
telnet host 25
250 mailserver
451 go away, load too high
<connection dropped>
--8<--

and 

--8<--
telnet host 25
connection refused
--8<--

I think the load monitoring script which plays with iptables is probably
going to be the way to go.
