Subject: [exim] vrfy_hosts
hi all,

i am planning a Mailserver Migration from 4.50 to 4.68
By chcking the old exim4.conf i found a Parameter called

hostlist vrfy_hosts = 10.33.9.60

i did find several doocu to that in the book and other places but couldn'
t exactly understand what it does.
The funny thing is that the host specified is off since months.
In newer default config files of exim i couldn't find that setting.

regrads
