But you should know that the recipient check (even the callout) is by no
means something you can rely on. There are other reasons that can happen
before/during/after final delivery.

Again, I'm not sure if I understand well enough. Exim tells you the
queue ID at the final OK:

    (…)
     ~> MAIL FROM:<hs@???>
    <~  250 OK
     ~> RCPT TO:<hs@???>
    <~  250 Accepted
     ~> DATA
    <~  354 Enter message, ending with "." on a line by itself
     ~> Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2009 23:00:42 +0200

    (…)


But I do not know if your c#/.net library can tell you the full
response.
