As the documentation does not specify what section of the exim.conf to
put these parameters in, where does one do so?
Thank you

Can Exim be configured to react to log files?
Directly? Not that I am aware of.
There is talk out there in the internet about other MTAs like Port25
which has the ability to react in real time to log files such that if a
log entry contains a Yahoo 421 message, either switch IPs or otherwise
shut down the queue.
This sounds like a great idea and I'm wondering if Exim has the muscle
to do this?
You can do this with retry rules like the following example:
yahoo.com rcpt_421 F,24h,6h
That is - for all messages for recipients in the yahoo.com domain which
receive a 421 response to a RCPT command, park them in the queue for 24
hours and only try every 6 hours.
I highly recommend familiarising yourself with the retry configuration:

It will very likely do exactly what you need without any external
"assistance".
