You have to tell exim how to search the file. For a "flat file" you'd
do a linear search, so your config statement should be:
sender_host_reject_recipients = lsearch;/etc/mail/block/hosts
^^^^^^^

If your file is large, you should consider using "exim_builddbm" to
construct a dbm file. Then your option would be:
sender_host_reject_recipients = dbm;/etc/mail/block/hosts
