It's probably worth repeating my view on this: What Exim is trying to
achieve is to get an answer to the question "Is it likely that an
attempt to deliver a bounce message to this address will succeed?" Since
Exim sends its bounce messages with sender "<>", that is what it uses
for sender verify callouts.
