+If &$sender_host_name$& has been populated (by reference, &%hosts_lookup%& or
+otherwise) then this boolean will have been set true if, and only if, the
+resolver library states that the reverse DNS was authenticated data. At all
+other times, this variable is false.

+It is likely that you will need to coerce DNSSEC support on in the resolver
+library, by setting:
+.code

+
+Exim does not perform DNSSEC validation itself, instead leaving that to a
+validating resolver (eg, unbound, or bind with suitable configuration).
+
+Exim does not (currently) check to see if the forward DNS was also secured
+with DNSSEC, only the reverse DNS.
+
+If you have changed &%host_lookup_order%& so that &`bydns`& is not the first
+mechanism in the list, then this variable will be false.

+default. A value of 0 coerces DNSSEC off, a value of 1 coerces DNSSEC on.

+Note that the above example assumes that the text comes from a lookup source
+of some sort, so that the quotes are part of the data. If composing a
+redirect router with a &%data%& option directly specifying this command, the
+quotes will be used by the configuration parser to define the extent of one
+string, but will not be passed down into the redirect router itself. There
+are two main approaches to get around this: escape quotes to be part of the
+data itself, or avoid using this mechanism and instead create a custom
+transport with the &%command%& option set and reference that transport from
+an &%accept%& router.
