That's not the only relevant part. When you use callout verification
the address is Routed in the normal way, using the normal Routers. You
don't include that part and you obfuscate the domain in an example where
the domain is relevant.

Further, there's a callout cache which helps Exim avoid connecting to
the primary server for _every_ inbound email.

Are the relevant addresses already in the callout cache?
