Are you actually calling/referencing your defined acl in one of the
acl_smtp_xxxx directives in the main section of the runtime
configuration? Such as:
acl_smtp_rcpt = acl_smtp_mail
or
acl_smtp_data = acl_smtp_mail
For troubleshooting the acid test to see what is happening would be to
run a debug session on the command line (here pretending to be from a
gmail IP):
exim -d -bh 209.85.229.27
giving it the normal smtp commands one at at time such as:
helo .
mail from: <>
rcpt to: your.user@???
data
This should show what is/is not going on. The logs may well have useful
information too.
