Go ahead and add an rbl_domains list, but you may wish exim to put a
warning in the email instead of reject it outright at first. Then let the
users determine in a .forward exim filter file if they wish to /dev/null
the email.

rbl_domains = relays.ordb.org/warn : relays.osirusoft.com/warn
rbl_log_headers

And, of course, there are other methods of spam prevention. Look into
spamassassin for nice and neat results. Using host_reject is another
method which rejects based on IP address/range.

Personally, I may be on the extreme side of spam prevention getting inside
my domain.

receiver_verify
sender_verify
headers_check_syntax
headers_sender_verify
sender_reject_recipients = ! /etc/exim/whitelist : \
                             dbm;/etc/exim/spammers.db
host_reject = dbm;/etc/exim/LARTed.db


My spammers file and LARTed list may be found at
http://www.smnolde.com:7080/exim/

BTW - spamassassin does rbl checks against osirusoft.com, too, but against
all the headers in the email, making it doubler-plus good.

YMMV
