I created the following:

and it fails with the following log line:

condition name expected, but found "{match{${lc:$sen"

I am slightly confused, and suggestions would be most appreciated.

Not a direct answer to your question, but hopefully a more efficient way to eliminate it.

You might find this easier to maintain as it needeth not editing of the configure file. My MUA will have line-wrapped it - it is a single line:

====

deny
condition = ${lookup {$sender_host_name}wildlsearch{/var/filters/blockfile}{yes}{no}}

===

The blockfile cited is a simple flat-file with entries of the form;

===

*pool-ukrtel.net

===

One per line. Can be appended to with scripting, and/or maintained with an ignorant text editor.

No /configure editing needed thereafter.

No exim restart needed at changes

Giving each miscreant it own acl stanza will run you ragged, given that the flatfile here has about 3 or 4 thousand entries...

And BTW...

.. an exim rDNS check will toss all the dynamic-IP pool WINbots right at 'CONNECT' for failure to have a PTR RR that mates to an A or MX record for a proper FQDN.

That PROBABLY would nail the one you cite. And essentially ALL OTHER Winbots on residential connectivity pools, with minimal Exim workload.

Make sure to apply that check only to port 25. Your own user-commmuity arriving on port 587 will seldom have DNS credentials, nor should they.

===
deny
condition   = ${if eq{$interface_port}{25}}
!verify     = reverse_host_lookup
===

Look at a (usually very small) IP-whitelist FIRST, then skip this test for the very, very few of our trusted correspondents you NEED to give a hall-pass to. File-storage or bespoke-application servers who have no FQDN assigned but must send you cron'ed reports, to name one such.

HTH,

Bill
