Configure the proxymap service on all your ldap lookups.  That will
dramatically reduce the number of connections, which usually is the
real problem.

and/or configure your relays to submit to a dedicated IP:port and
set postfix to listen on that port with
  "-o receive_override_options=no_address_mapppings"
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#receive_override_options
Use your firewall to restrict access to only authorized relays.
