How do you know it does nothing? Have you received any messages from
sites that are in the RBL list? If no site that is blocked has tried to
send mail to you, then indeed you will observe nothing.
New in Exim 1.90 is the -bh option, which allows you to run a testing
SMTP session as if from a given address. This makes it easier to test
this kind of thing. Of course, you need to know a blocked IP address
with which to test.

Just setting
rbl_domains = rbl.maps.vix.com
should turn it on. The best way of checking is to use the -bh option
which exists from Exim 1.90 onwards.
