One real good way to see where things are going wrong is to put exim in
debugging mode on an alternate port. (let's see sendmail do that ;} )
You can do this using
exim -bd -oX 2525 -d9 2>&1 | tee some file
Then telnet to port 2525 and fake an smtp conversation to see what exim
is doing. It will show you the searchs, lookups and expansions it does,
making it pretty easy to test your rules.
