Thats actually a very insecure solution, even if it had worked.
Unless you set that (which you shouldnt), exim uses the sender _IP_
address, and the destination email address, to determine wether to
relay.
You need to set host_accept_relay to include the IP addresses/networks
from which you want to relay. What email address the sender claims to
be is irrelevant, since it is trivially forged..
