This is an MTA connection limit, which is not a bad thing. Sane limits should always be placed on servers. I suspect that in Exim the RBL's are checked after local connection limits. This is likely nothing to worry about. You may want to verify that this is a PER HOST connection limit and not server-wide, though. The Exim list may be more helpful in that regard.
