I would personally use the operating systems firewall software for this.
Seems redundant that every piece of software accepting connections
should duplicate the functionality of a firewall.

Yes. In some cases it could be good choice. But in _general_ it's not.
It's about functionality of a mail server, isn't so? And how your users
will know, what they reached limits and it's not case of broken
connection/firewall/network related problems and so on?
