Was that sentence missing the word                 ^ "does" ?


Section 39.32 ("Callout verification") of the manual discusses it in detail.
Basically, it routes the address being tested, and if it's routed to a remote
host, it contacts that host and performs the callout. Check (with "exim
-d+route -bv") that the address you want to test with a callout is routed to
the correct host - usually you'll want to ensure that it's routed to the
domain's MX with a "dnslookup" router.
