Yes, I'm aware of that fact that you can do simple LMTP callouts now.
But without making an overly complex Exim config file, doing callouts to
Cyrus in my installation requires that AUTH be used. And yes, TLS is
another issue as well. So I think this will be a worthwhile endeavor,
plus it will reduce code duplication and will ensure that any address
that a transport can deliver can be verified in the same manner.
