It would be nice if smarthost routers could do a rcpt verify
against the destination server they route to during the exim rcpt to
verify checks. Shame that can't be done.
Who maintains the MTA the smarthost routes to ? Maybe you can arrange
some form of remote lookup access to validate addresses, if they use a
database or ldap like service ?
