Yes, that should work - but AFAIK only for "fully qualified" email
addresses.
When working with sendmail, you can even place a fqdn in
/etc/mail/access, and AFAIK getting the same with exim requires
altogether three different lookups and the corresponding files:
- one reffering to "complete" email addresses,
- the second to catch host names and
- the third to block special local parts (although this is normally
done by recipient verification).
Sorry for not posting exact entries for your exim acls, bit when I was
looking for the same feature few days ago, I found something in this
mailing list's archives.
AFAIR I asked <
http://www.google.com> for some combination of "exim
acl access.db"...
hth,
