There is no way do to it from Exim. If you use -bh to simulate an SMTP
call from another host, it goes through some of the motions, but it
doesn't actually do the callout itself. I didn't think this kind of
testing should impact on other hosts.
Of course, you can just telnet to the the remote host and do a manual
"callout" if you want to check a particular address.
