Well, can you then please explain me why MY version (the first version quoted
above) actually works?
When I put a domain into "no_callout" the sender address is NOT checked. For
domains NOT in "no_callout" sender addresses ARE checked. I verified this
myself by talking SMTP to Exim. :-)
To recap: +local_domains contains a list of ALL virtual domains I operate.
"no_callout" contains a list of the domains for which sender verification
should NOT occur.
Which version of the above is correct: The first one (mine) or the second one?

This I have understood. :-)
Thanks,
Ralf
