It would work if you put it in an @@-style search file. That is, you have
something like
sender_reject_recipients = @@cdb*;/etc/mail/exim/sender_reject_bydomain.cdb
and in the (source of) the file you have lines like
hotmail.com ^.*[0-9]{3}$ : <other patterns to block at hotmail.com> : ...
See other examples in section 7.14. Note that AOL guarantee that
none of their genuine addresses ever start with a digit, so
aol.com ^\d
is useful. Many genuine local parts end with digits, so that isn't
really a good idea.
