Yes, that's the point.

See <http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.40/doc/html/spec_38.html>:
| random: Before doing the normal callout check, Exim does a check for
| a “random” local part at the same domain. The local part is not

| succeeds, the result is saved in a cache record, and used to force

| connection being made, until the cache record expires.


I'll have to (re-)evaluate that sometimes; a list of hosts that
blindly accept all recipients would be better, of course.
