I don't know of any official packages, but Marc Merlin provides his
own custom exim4 packages containing his sa-exim add-on. sa-exim
provides for the teergrubing.

Recently some people on postfix-users discussed adding a 'tarpitd' to
postfix.

Nice!
However, how is the MTA supposed to recognize which addresses to apply
the teergrube to? They look a bit too random to me.
