To do this you'll need to study Access Control Lists in chapter 42 of the
documentation.
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch42.html
In general terms (might not be completely accurate):
- A matching 'accept' or 'discard' rule will generate a 2xx response.
- A matching 'defer' rule will generate a 4xx response.
- A matching 'deny' or 'drop' rule, or non-matching 'require' rule will
generate a 5xx response.
You most likely don't want to generate these responses solely on which server
is connecting though. To understand when to use which response, I suggest
studying RFC 5321 on the SMTP protocol. [This is a lot of reading, but
there's no better way to get a thorough understanding of this, in my humble
opinion.]
