Messages can legitimately have more than one "Received" header (though
admittedly one is by far the most common case). You may end up blocking some
legit mail by mistake.

Also, isn't Exim's own "Received" header added before the acl_smtp_data is
run? In which case that above ACL would block *all* mail? I would have
thought you'd want something like (totally untested):

condition = ${if match{$h_Received:}{\\n}}
