I almost sent a mail claiming that the original senders = +ems_domains
needs to be changed, too. However rereading
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.62/doc/html/spec_html/ch10.html#SECTaddresslist
stopped me:
| If a non-empty pattern that is not a regular expression or a lookup

I'd use
senders = *@+ems_domains
anyway.
