Did you try the third possibility, namely
*@aurora.alaska.edu ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
{$value}fail} bcfrF
? Which version of Exim was this? I have just checked that $1 is set in
this case in the 2.10 release, and it seems OK. One way of testing would
be to use the -brw testing option with the -d9 debugging option. That
will tell you (in the middle of the mass of output) exactly what it is
looking up.
