I don't know about Exim 3, but in Exim 4 you could use something like
this in an ACL:
deny message = host in DNS blocking list or DNS data not available
dnslists = +defer_unknown:relays.ordb.org:relays.osirusoft.com
By the way, if any experts out there have opinions on why I might be
doing this wrong, or could be doing it better, please let me know so I
can fix it. I did have one person call to complain their email to me
bounced with that message, even though they are not in the RBLs, which
implies a DNS timeout for that particular email, right? (Other mails
from same sender come through fine). My intent was not to bounce the
mail, but to do a temporary reject, to permit the sending MTA to retry,
hopefully without having to bother the original sender. Any thoughts?
