Erm, as 10./8 is a local (rfc 1918) subnet, have you given

host_accept_relay = localhost: 10.0.0.0/8 ?

If you don't have proper rDNS, I suggest using sender_reject

root@rocklines~> grep reject /usr/exim/configure
# during the SMTP dialogue. Unknown recipients are then rejected at this stage,
sender_verify_reject = true
sender_reject = @@lsearch*;/usr/exim314/blocked.senders

blocked.senders is of the format

 exactis.com        *
 hotmail.com        bozo1:bozo2:bozo3
 *            admin__     # admin__@foo is generated by a trojan


etc etc etc.
