It has been on the Wish List for quite some time:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(73) 17-Jul-02 M Match a list from within a condition
e.g. ${if matchdomain {$domain}{+domainlist} ...
${if matchhost {$sender_host_address}{1.2.3.4/10:2.3.4.5/16}...
Thought needed about how to handle host names. This may be too messy to specify
cleanly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The comment sums up the problem I foresaw at the time. I have not
revisted this recently, but since that date, Exim has been changed so
that the use of $sender_host_name automatically triggers an rDNS lookup.
That might help.
