An Exim "verify" run goes through the Routers in order, testing them in
"verify" mode. It skips those with "no_verify" (as opposed to actual
routing, which skips those with "verify_only").
By default, when Exim encounters an smtp transport, it stops at that
point and considers an address verified. The "/callout" means "try the
transport in callout mode" (which is much more limited).
So "verify = recipient" -> "verify = recipient/callout" means that
verification will include making SMTP connections, as warranted.
Thus the importance of using some "domains" restrictions, to keep from
being abusive.
