[gentoo-server] SMTP Woes

I am getting a huge number of connections to my mail server (postfix) compared to usual. I've seen as many as 50 connections open at one time. The logs show that the connections are from several computers of varying IPs, and they are all trying to send mail to random mailboxes on my domain. It's very annoying, and I have noticed that inbound mail seems to be lagging by several hours. Is there something similar to denyhosts for spammers? Any other suggestions?
