Exim verifies local parts if it can do so, authoratively - basicly, any
domain that is local (I set up a case where the main domain for a site
was a virtual domain that all the mail relays were authorative for and
threw the appropriate local parts to the appropriate places, the relays
would reject invalid local parts for all the local/virtual/etc domains
in from: and to:, etc, headers ...).
