verify = sender

does a routing check only, so its run through exim's routers. For
remote addresses this normally means its a check on MX existence/sanity
only.

verify = sender/callout

will effectively do a check to the level of the user, and also picks up
dead/unreachable MXes etc, unless defer_ok is set.
