Subject: [exim] recipient callout verification issue...
I am having an issue with recipient callout verifications.

I maintain a border mx which sits in front of my hosting servers which are
ultimately the destination for the mail. The destination server is a
qmail/plesk setup and my border mx is exim 4.66.

In my ACL I have:
require verify = recipient/callout=10s,defer_ok

Now here comes the weird part...

If I send an email to somenonexistantuser@??? from the Exim
server, ie the gateway, the callout returns a failure as its supposed to.
If I send an email from any number of real world mail servers, in this case
my work smtp server, I do not get a failure from the Exim server, Exim
routes the mail to the destination which in turn bounces saying no mailbox
exists.

I should get the same results as if I sent from the command line of the exim
server itself. Ultimately, its not verifying the local parts of the hosted
domain on the remote server. I do not wish to maintain a database of real
users on my exim server's sql database.

Any help would be great...
