That is precisely why Exim does *not* do a callout with postmaster@domB
to verify a sender. It does the callout with "<>" as the sender. We've
had this discussion several times. There are some options for varying
the callout sender for recipient verifications (when one is generally
talking to another of your own MTAs), but not for sender verifications.
