Poor choice in ISP :) . Specific example: fred@??? is trying to
mail someone in this office. Foo.com is coming up on a SORBS hit and so
all mail from foo.com is being blocked. i do NOT want to stop
referencing SORBS, and i most definitely do not want to accept all mail
from foo.com unconditionally; but i would like fred's mail to get through.

Poking around, i *think* what i want is

   accept
     senders = lsearch*@;/etc/exim4/local_whitelist


with the address(es) i want to whilist in /etc/exim4/local_whitelist,
and that should match fred@??? and not all of foo.com. i think.
