Yeah, sure, except that the callback went to 198.186.202.175
and
root@gandalf:# host -t MX merlins.org

Why did exim 4.02 ask 198.186.202.175 if it would accept mail for merlins.org?
I ran it under debugging mode, and found:

I do have smtp.vasoftware.com as a smarthost, but it should not be used
during SMTP callback (although I agree that in real life you don't typically
use callbacks or even receive mail if you have a smarthost, so if this
doesn't get fixed, it's not the end of the world)
