That's why I am suggesting adding a macro, instead of hardcoding the
option in the smarthost transport definition. Users can easily enable
verification of server certificate by adding the macro to
exim4.conf.localmacros.

It will be an even better idea if debconf can offer a check box on the
smarthost prompt screen for enabling server certificate verification.
