How can I force Exim to check the validity of an email before sending it?

How can I force Exim to check the validity of an email before sending it?
That is, if the email is not valid, then do not send a letter there, do not even try to send it there (for example, write an invalid email to the log)

The validity of the email is already checked before sending (acl with the verify = recipient directive). The truth for remote hosts - only the domain. You can check by sending a request via SMTP to check if the recipient exists by changing the acl to: verify = recipient/callout=10s. This action will cause additional load on the server.
If you really need to add regex validation, I guess you'll have to use built-in perl and some script like this www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/10321/validate...
