"Partial", when used with a single-key lookup, can be defined - it chops
the key up at dot separators and sticks on leading asterisks. When it
comes to query-style lookups, you can't define "partial" because the
query is something that is configured by the admin, and Exim knows
nothing about the form it takes.

Use "queries" instead of "query", and have two colon-separated queries,
with the second doing your default (in a director), or if you are using
an expanded string with smartuser, just put another lookup for the
default instead of "fail".
