I'm doing a similar thing, but with per-domain IP blacklists. I
added this to the acl_check_rcpt ACL under the example for DNS
blacklists:
deny hosts = ${if exists {/usr/exim/rbl/$domain}\
{/usr/exim/rbl/$domain}}
message = host $sender_host_address blacklisted by \
administrator
Maybe something like this would work (not tested):
deny sender = ${if exists {/home/$local_part/.bouncelist}\
{/home/$local_part/.bouncelist}}
message = user $local_part doesn't like you; go away
