You must have missed this:
7.16 Host lists
Host lists are used to control what remote hosts are allowed to do (for
example, use the local host as a relay). A host list consists of host name and |
IP address patterns which define a set of hosts that the list matches. Items |
in the list may be positive or negative. Negation is indicated by preceding an |
item with an exclamation mark.

You are, I presume, running a version of Exim >= 3.00? The negation
feature was not present before that.
