Ah, thanks.

Now I've added a few other blacklists an tried with
"exim -bhc 127.0.0.2":

>>> check dnslists = rblplus.mail-abuse.org : ix.dnsbl.manitu.net :
>>> sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org : relays.ordb.org
>>> DNS list check: rblplus.mail-abuse.org
>>> new DNS lookup for 2.0.0.127.rblplus.mail-abuse.org
>>> DNS lookup for 2.0.0.127.rblplus.mail-abuse.org failed
>>> => that means 127.0.0.2 is not listed at rblplus.mail-abuse.org
>>> DNS list check: ix.dnsbl.manitu.net
>>> new DNS lookup for 2.0.0.127.ix.dnsbl.manitu.net
>>> DNS lookup for 2.0.0.127.ix.dnsbl.manitu.net failed
>>> => that means 127.0.0.2 is not listed at ix.dnsbl.manitu.net

>>> new DNS lookup for 2.0.0.127.sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org
>>> DNS lookup for 2.0.0.127.sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org succeeded (yielding
>>> 127.0.0.2, 127.0.0.4, 127.0.0.6)
>>> => that means 127.0.0.2 is listed at sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org
