Are you running Exim through [x]inetd? If not...nothing is looking at
hosts.allow.

The other thing to check would be that the last line in hosts.allow (and
lots of other files.../etc/crontab is another example...only exists if it
has a trailing newline...trailing characters without a newline are ignored
by a very common method of reading such files). I first found that one when
a final deny all in hosts.deny accomplished nothing...since then I've tossed
quick tests into crontab only to have nothing happen.
