Mmhhh, it has to  do a dns lookup on the receipients if  it wants to deliver
the Email (you're  probably thinking no lockup on the  sender, which you can
set as trusted).
One option  is to just  blindly accept everything  and spool it. You  end up
with a lot  of spool and disk I/O  that you really didn't have to  do if you
had done direct delivery from memory.
That said, those are  exim concerns and I have a  separate thread about this
on the exim list.
