Good, glad that worked.
Have you used the -be command line option? It's great for testing things
like this.
bash-3.00# /usr/local/exim/bin/exim -be
> deny message =
${lookup{brudy@???=>brian@???}lsearch{/etc/exim/exim-del.db}}
deny message = Blocked because we want to
> condition =
${lookup{brudy@???=>brian@???}lsearch{/etc/exim/exim-del.db}{yes}{no}}
condition = yes
