This is the correct form.

lsearch is just like any other keyed lookup. So you would need to do the
same net<num>-lsearch

The paths listed above are different (/exim vs /opt/exim). A typo?
Also did you HUP the daemon after changing your config file? What's the
contents of your iplist file look like? It should be something like:

10.0.0.0/8
192.168.123.0/24
192.168.124.25/32

etc.

What does a 'exim -d9 -bh <ip addr>' for one of the IPs in question tell
you?
