Which version of the Exim documentation are you reading, then? This is
an excerpt from the 'File and database lookups' section (the final
paragraph being particularly relevant):

-----------------------------------------------------------
It is easy to confuse the two different kinds of lookup, especially as
the lists that may contain the second kind are always expanded before
being processed as lists. Therefore, they may also contain lookups of
the first kind. Be careful to distinguish between the following two
examples:

     domains = ${lookup{$sender_host_address}lsearch{/some/file}}
     domains = lsearch;/some/file


The first uses a string expansion, the result of which must be a domain
list. String expansions are described in detail in chapter "String
expansions". The expansion takes place first, and the file that is
searched could contain lines like this:

     192.168.3.4: domain1 : domain2 : ...
     192.168.1.9: domain3 : domain4 : ...


Thus, the result of the expansion is a list of domains (and possibly
other types of item that are allowed in domain lists).

In the second case, the lookup is a single item in a domain list. It
causes Exim to use a lookup to see if the domain that is being
processed can be found in the file. The file could contains lines like
this:

     domain1:
     domain2:


Any data that follows the keys is not relevant when checking that the
domain matches the list item.
