To drop, for example, the first, already in-process connection when a second or 
subsequent is attempted?

As each is a separate child-process, and many such could be running on 
unrelated 
connections at any given moment, I doubt it would be in current code.

Exim can already *refuse* the second, or 'nth', and subsequent connection based 
on already-available settings. And it does so in a reasonably polite manner 
such 
that a legit sender will try again later.

A raw 'drop' OTOH, especially of an already-established connection, could get 
your server marked-off as unreacheable.

YMMV, but the built-in limits work really well here.
