10.10 Special host list patterns
--------------------------------
If a host list item is the empty string, it matches only when no remote host is
involved. This is the case when a message is being received from a local
process using SMTP on the standard input, that is, when a TCP/IP connection is
not used.

6.21 Empty items in lists
-------------------------
An empty item at the end of a list is always ignored. In other words, trailing
separator characters are ignored. Thus, the list in
senders = user@domain :
contains only a single item. If you want to include an empty string as one item
in a list, it must not be the last item. For example, this list contains three
items, the second of which is empty:
senders = user1@domain : : user2@domain
Note: There must be white space between the two colons, as otherwise they are
interpreted as representing a single colon data character (and the list would
then contain just one item). If you want to specify a list that contains just
one, empty item, you can do it as in this example:
senders = :
In this case, the first item is empty, and the second is discarded because it
is at the end of the list.

So:
!sender_domains = : lsearch;/etc/exim/trusted-domains.txt
is specifying a domainlist of two items, where the first is the empty
string, the second causes an lsearch lookup.
Section 10.10 is about host-lists, but without an IP address, the domain
search-key is empty and the same matching rules apply. Suggestions for
documentation fixes welcome.
