You shouldn't refuse mail based on absense of a DNS entry, as that could be
due to a problem with the DNS.

I assume you mean that you want to validate the MAIL FROM: address? Exim
will do this if you set the sender_verify option in the config file.

You can have it rejecting, or logging the information; you can't have it
adding a header for later filtering, which would be nice. I'll forward this
to the exim mailing list.
