[EXIM] VRFY and smartuser

Hello,

with exim 1.92 a VRFY command fails for any local part whose mail is
beeing routed to a remote address by means of a smartuser director.

Example:

telnet mail.local.com 25
VRFY postmaster
220 mail.local.com ESMTP Exim 1.92 Tue, 6 Apr 1999 15:39:25 +0200
551 Not a local domain
quit

given a smartuser like:

postmaster:
driver = smartuser
local_parts = "root:abuse:webmaster:postmaster:daemon:webserv:exim:pop"
new_address = postmaster@???

exim appears to VRFY the value of new_address. Shouldn't it reply a "250
Deliverable" instead, assuming that the remote MTA is set up correctly and
that the remote address does exist?

Is there any way to change the smtp_verify or smartuser settings so that a
VRFY like above would succeed?

TIA,
Volker
