I spent a few minutes looking through the Exim 4 source, and what you
say sounds true. For each verb, ACL conditions are evaluated top-down
and short-circuited (if a condition is false, further conditions will
not be tested, and processing will continue with the next verb). I
wasn't aware of the fact that a condition like "domains = [...]" may
be used multiple times in a single verb. This may be applied like the
way Ralf did it and deserves to be mentioned explicitly in the Exim
specification (because it's not obvious).
