I thought I might have understood what you were talking about, so I
placed the "begin authentication" section above the "begin acl"
section and it hasn't made a difference.
I am running SpamAssassin with spamd, and clamav, do you think any one
of those could be the culprit for re-writing the IP address?
If something is re-writing the IP address, why is it still showing the
internal lan IP address of the connecting computer? (192.168.1.2 ,
192.168.1.7 respectively)
Here is my entire exim configuration, I have it posted up as well as
comments on relevant areas. Any help at all in solving this is greatly
appreciated! Thank you!

The problem? If Computer A sends 4 messages (or a message with 4
recipients) and gets rate limited, Computer B, that is very far away,
has a separate email account all together, and a different IP address,
also gets rate limited! Computer B cannot send an email at all.
Have you checked the "authenticated" condition before the "ratelimit"
condition? If not, $authenticated_id won't be set, and the limit will
apply to the whole MTA regardless of the client.
I have tried with and without the $authenticated_id key. It doesn't
seem to make a difference.

This is very strange. Why are your client connections apparently coming
from localhost? That would explain why removing the $authenticated_id
lookup key (leaving the default $sender_host_address) doesn't change
anything, because the client IP address has been rewritten before Exim
gets to see it.
