It goes back to the message's sender, and is copied to postmaster.
This is _generally_ a feature, but not for all cases.
I will probably implement a router that fails certain addresses (> 80
% of the annoying bounces are caused by about 15 addresses) on the
mail gate without actually trying to deliver them..

This sounds nice. Are the results of the callback cached by exim in
some way, or is a new callback being done for each message coming in
for an address? If the address verifies, is the message delivered
through the connection opened for address verification, or is a new
connection used for that?
hosts listed in sender_verify_hosts_callback are hosts where incoming
mail is to be delivered to, or where mail is coming in from?
