You are using exim4 on Debian 3.0, aka woody? sarge was released two
months ago.

Reading the Documentation that comes with the package is always a good
idea.

Just out of curiosity, which IRC network is that channel on?

Looks like your ACL is not referenced anyway. You need to reference
your ACL in another ACL or in the relevant part of the main
configuration. Spec.txt chapter 39 must be interesting reading.

Additionally, if you picked the default options during the debconf
part of configuration, your exim is most probably using the
configuration found in /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template, not the split
files in /etc/exim4/conf.d.
