Put it in the deny rather than it's own warn. You might want to drop the
delay as being pointless if you're denying. I'd also suggest you do the
authenticated check before the dnslists check; it's almost certainly cheaper.

And I'm with Lena on the recipient verify; you need to think very carefully
about what you're trying to achieve. Read around the docs (http://exim.org)
to get a fuller understanding.
