I'm doing this with Exim4.  There are quite a number of sites with rules for 
this, I'll just point out one of them:

And if you're running Exim4, I also suggest looking at the 
smtp_accept_max_per_host setting, which lets you limit how many simultaneous 
connections a single IP may make.

So which MTA are you running?
