Yes, "domains" is related to the recipient. And anyway, you should use
the ACL features of exim to reject mails already at SMTP time. It's much
more efficient and more straight forward.

Assuming a configuration similiar to the example.conf


    acl_check_rcpt:




        accept  local_parts = postmaster
                domains     = +local_domains



        deny    message     = rejected
                sender_domains = lsearch;/etc/exim/blacklisted-domains




(It's from my memory, please cross check it with the spec.txt and other
postings here.)


    Best regards from Dresden/Germany
    Viele Grüße aus Dresden
