Yes, but that limits inbound connections from *all* hosts, not just for a particular host that connects more often than "on average". With policyd, you could specify limits for specific IP addresses, if desired. As I mentioned before, you can also do that with the "anvil" facility within postfix. And a big difference is that policyd will allow multiple SMTP servers to access a common DB.
