To do this you'll need to study Access Control Lists in chapter 42 of the 
documentation.

  http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch42.html


In general terms (might not be completely accurate):

- A matching 'accept' or 'discard' rule will generate a 2xx response.

- A matching 'defer' rule will generate a 4xx response.

- A matching 'deny' or 'drop' rule, or non-matching 'require' rule will 
generate a 5xx response.


You most likely don't want to generate these responses solely on which server 
is connecting though.  To understand when to use which response, I suggest 
studying RFC 5321 on the SMTP protocol.  [This is a lot of reading, but 
there's no better way to get a thorough understanding of this, in my humble 
opinion.]
