I would expect that you can configure your RBL ACL to only do lookups based
on whether the sender address is in (or not in) some set variable - e.g.
deny hosts = !+dialup_ips
message blah blah blah
dnslists = sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org : list.dsbl.org (etc)
dialup_ips would be defined as your dialup address range.
Untested, but it should work. As this is your first day looking at an Exim
configure file I would suggest some careful reading...;)
