Because you need to specify a search method for host lists; why you
don't need to specify a search method for net lists I don't know, it
would make things more consistent.

the net options should just have one IP address or range per line:
127.0.0.1/32
212.228.14.13/32
192.168.0.0/16
and reference them like this in the config file:
sender_net_accept_relay = /opt/exim/conf/relay.nets.yes
sender_net_reject_relay = /opt/exim/conf/relay.nets.no
and the host list should just have one host name per line:
scientia.demon.co.uk
x.scientia.demon.co.uk
y.scientia.demon.co.uk
and reference those like this:
sender_host_accept_relay = lsearch;/opt/exim/conf/relay.hosts.yes
sender_host_reject_relay = lsearch;/opt/exim/conf/relay.hosts.no
You can also specify wildcards:
*.scientia.demon.co.uk
but I think if you do you need to use partial-lsearch instead of just
lsearch, or something like that:
sender_host_accept_relay = partial-lsearch;/opt/exim/conf/relay.hosts.yes
sender_host_reject_relay = partial-lsearch;/opt/exim/conf/relay.hosts.no
Something like that anyway.
