Yes, I do understand that.
However, this does not answer my question. Why does Exim, if I have
"require verify = sender/callout=10s/defer_ok" test all of the MX
servers and not just stop at the first one that is accepting a
connection? I did not expect this behaviour.
And, is this behaviour a result of the addition of "callout=10s"?
Yes, I did read the documentation, but I'm not quite sure how to
interpret is, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered this list.
