It seems you are looking for an acl_smtp_connect ACL. An example of
what I think you are trying to accomplish:


## first create a variable containing all the hosts which are denied.
## the deny.list should contain a list of hosts seperated by newline
hostlist    deny_hosts = lsearch;/usr/local/exim/deny.list


## define acl_smtp_connect acl
acl_smtp_connect = acl_check_connect

begin acl

  ## deny all hosts which are in deny_hosts, accept all others
  acl_check_connect:
    deny    hosts   = +deny_hosts
            message = Bye.
    accept


Merge this in your configuration and exim should close the connection if
an unwanted host is connecting to exim.

Regards,

Jeffrey.
