Careful layout can help a lot. Here's a relatively complicated example
from my configuration which shows a few features of my layout style.
deny message = Please use your name when saying HELO (not $sender_helo_name)
!verify = helo
condition = ${if or{ \
{ eq{$acl_c1}{bad} } \
{ isip{$sender_helo_name} } \
{ eq{$sender_helo_name}{$local_part} } \
{ match_domain{$sender_helo_name}{+our_domains} } \
} {yes} {no} }
set acl_c1 = bad
The one that really takes the biscuit, though, is:
# tweaked so that it is clear which way the message arrived
# for reference, the default is:
#
# received_header_text = Received: \
# ${if def:sender_rcvhost \
# {from $sender_rcvhost\n\t} \
# {${if def:sender_ident {from $sender_ident } \
# }${if def:sender_helo_name {(helo=$sender_helo_name)\n\t} }} \
# }\
# by $primary_hostname \
# ${if def:received_protocol {with $received_protocol} } \
# ${if def:tls_cipher {($tls_cipher)\n\t} }\
# (Exim $version_number)\n\t\
# id $message_id\
# ${if def:received_for {\n\tfor $received_for} }
#
received_header_text = Received: \
${if def:sender_rcvhost \
{from $sender_rcvhost\n\t} \
{${if def:sender_ident {from $sender_ident } \
}${if def:sender_helo_name {(helo=$sender_helo_name)\n\t} }} \
}\
by FULL_HOSTINFO\n\t\
${if def:received_protocol {with $received_protocol } }\
${if def:authenticated_id {($authenticated_id) } }\
${if def:tls_cipher {($tls_cipher) } }\
(Exim $version_number)\
${if def:received_for \
{\n\tid $message_id (return-path <$sender_address>)\n\t\
for $received_for} \
{ id $message_id\n\t\
(return-path <$sender_address>)} }
The macro definitions include:
NAME = ${lookup {$interface_address}cdb{DB/ipaddr2name.cdb} \
{$value} {localhost} }
FULL_HOSTINFO = $primary_hostname (${if def:interface_address \
{NAME [$interface_address]:$interface_port} \
{NAME} })

RATTRAY HEAD TO BERWICK ON TWEED: SOUTHWEST 6 TO GALE 8, POSSIBLY SEVERE GALE
9 OFF THE FORTH AND TAY, VEERING WESTERLY 5 TO 7 LATER ON WEDNESDAY.
OCCASIONAL SHOWERS. MAINLY GOOD. MODERATE, BUT ROUGH NEAR EXPOSED HEADLANDS.
