I  hope  Scott  has  clarified  that you are experiencing a dictionary
attack  and  that no NDRs will be generated by your server if messages
are rejected during the SMTP envelope.

The  question is: even though you have no reactive protection in place
(i.e.  no  automatic blocking of IPs), is your server performing other
tasks  with  adequate  performance? Is it true that your serIer cannot
keep  up  with  the  attack?  You didn't actually tell us what symptom
you're trying to control, other than very large logs.
