I suppose you do not want to apply DNSBL checks to the blocked
senders, rather to deny them unconditionally. You should use a
separate deny rule for that:
deny message = mail from <$sender_address> not allowed
senders = /etc/exim/exim.blacklist
A nice feature of address lists is that you can have exceptions:
!friend@???
evildomain.com
in exim.blacklist (in this order!) will refuse mail from the whole
evildomain.com domain, but will let friend@??? through.
Blacklisting addresses works also well with persistent spammers like
trafficmagnet.com or websalesjet.net, who tend to use "real" domains
to send out their spam.
