Richard,

From the z/VM TCP/IP Programmer's Reference:

Note: The client verification exit is
called for each HELO or EHLO command processed for each mail item received
from the network. Client verification is not performed for mail items received
from the SMTP virtual reader. 

How are you sending the mail, and from
where?  Something like "sendfile test test a [EMAIL PROTECTED]
(smtp" will not result in the exit being called.  If you add
TRACE DEBUG to your SMTP CONFIG file you will see the following message
on your SMTP console when a HELO or EHLO command is processed:
#<N> Client verification results:
<data>

Where <N> is the connection number
and <data> is a string describing the results.  In my example
(and I imagine in your case) <data> is "Batch".  If
the exit was executed, the value would be something else ("Success",
"Failed" etc.).
