I have no idea.
Let's get back to the actual error message you received:

You can either turn off sender verification or use an address that can be
verified.
If it's for cron jobs do what I do and use rewriting in Exim's config to
make them appear from a standard user.
Actually all our servers have a newsgroup on a news server and the root
alias is a pointer to some mail to news software that stores them in an
INN server. Instant archives and searchable to any staff with a
newsreader.
