What's your revision history on the file?
What about on another file which might be a whitelist which you check
first, to avoid hitting the blacklist: did you accidentally whitelist
most of the Internet from getting checked by the blacklist? Do you
whitelist against an online DNSxL which might have changed status
recently and so is returning "whitelist" in response to _all_ your
queries?
These are the sorts of things which `exim -d+acl -bh $bad_ip` will
expose for you. (See Jeremy pointing to -bh too).
At the start of December 2016, the Avalanche fraud network was taken
down; that's the sort of event which might shift traffic patterns.
The Spamhaus DROP and EDROP lists are useful data-sources for keeping
up-to-date, if you're not already using them.
