https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-access_control_lists.html:
This condition tests the sender of the message against the given list...
Warning: It is a bad idea to use this condition on its own as a control
on relaying, because sender addresses are easily, and commonly, forged.
Also from that section:
You cannot test the contents of the message, for example, to verify
addresses in the headers, at RCPT time or when the DATA command is
received. Such tests have to appear in the ACL that is run after the
message itself has been received, before the final response to the DATA
command is sent. This is the ACL specified by acl_smtp_data, which is
the second ACL that is associated with the DATA command.
So in the acl_smtp_data you could put a custom condition and match
against headers, e.g. $header_from and/or $h_reply-to.

Alternatively, if you are using spamassassin or another spam scoring
system you can put a rule there.
