Hi,

it seems to happen here:
in verify.c, around line 542

    if (!(esmtp = verify_check_this_host(&(ob->hosts_avoid_esmtp), NULL,
      host->name, host->address, NULL) != OK))
      DEBUG(D_transport)
        debug_printf("not sending EHLO (host matches hosts_avoid_esmtp)\n");


The hosts_avoid_smtp list is not set.

When I saw your configuration I asked myself how the SMTP callout should
happen, because you do not have any SMTP transport configured. (I think,
older Exims didn't use the transport configuration for callouts at all…)

I think, you need have a separate router for the verification:


    begin routers
    #------------


    foo_verify:
            …
            transport = smtp
            verify_only
            no_more


    foo:
            transport = vscan
            no_more


    begin transports
    #--------------


        smtp:
            driver = smtp


        vscan:
            driver = pipe
            command = …


I'm not sure, if this is a bug, but at least the output should be more
clear :)

(the transport option is expandable, but currently I do not find a
condition telling me, if I'm during verification or if it's already the
real routing…, it would be nice to have something like this:

    begin routers
        foo:
            transport = ${if verification {smtp}{vscan}}


But this does not work as far as I know…


    Best regards from Dresden/Germany
