what is working well for me (i'm very new to exim though) is to add ip
addresses to
/etc/exim4/local_host_blacklist

so i have things like:
193.105.41.254     #block individual ip
208.115.244.52/24  #block 208.115.244.xxx
216.162.112.10/16  #block 216.162.xxx.xxx


if you want to let something through like:
216.162.112.12
just put that ip address in
/etc/exim4/host_local_deny_exceptions
(according to EXIM4_FILES(5) man page on my debian squeeze system, but i
haven't tried it)

so this may not be quite what you are looking to do, but it may still do
the job.
