Except that on all the Exchange machines I've seen, they don't check
recipients at SMTP time, instead accepting all recipients and then
generating bounces as necessary (braindead). So doing callouts won't,
unfortunately, achieve anything useful. There is, however, a recipe in the
Exim cookbook to check the list of Windows recipients via LDAP. That might
be worth a look, though I've not yet had an opportunity to try it myself.
