I build current 64 bit versions of Exim for C5 and C6, available for
download if you want them at
http://downloads.mrball.net/Linux/CentOS/. They are built differently
than the distro provided versions.

I use this to check if a host has rDNS:

condition     = ${lookup dnsdb{defer_never,ptr=$sender_host_address}{yes}}


To negate it, just add the NOT logical operator:

!condition     = ${lookup dnsdb{defer_never,ptr=$sender_host_address}{yes}}
