Caching was implemented for release 4.11.

1. You can make individual lookups not cache by ACL lines such as

deny verify=sender/callout=10s,no_cache

2. Like all hints databases, you can always delete the entire cache;
Exim will then rebuild it as it does new callouts.

3. The hints database utility programs (exim_dumpdb, exim_tidydb, and
exim_fixdb) have been updated to handle the new callout cache database,
identified as "callout". So, if you really want to, you can use
exim_fixdb to delete an individual record. However, the interface to
exim_fixdb is crude in the extreme; it was never intended for regular
use.
