Depending on your ACL setup you need something like

    verify = recipient/callout


I'd recommend consulting the specs about further options (as
``defer_ok'', ``use_sender'', random tests, timeouts, caching, etc.)

This verification steps uses your router configuration and establishes a
short SMTP session to the (delivery) host. This session ends after
reading the response to "RCPT TO: <...>". So expect more inbound
connections on your internal mail server.
