I looked at your line. I got my editor to count the { and } and found
they were balanced. So I started to reformat it to check things, and got
this far

   ${if and {  {eq{$2}{$2}} {eq{$3} {lsearch{/home/$2/.ASMTPsecret}}
                            }
            }
   {yes}{no}
   }

Then I realized your problem. The string

lsearch{/home/$2/.ASMTPsecret}

is not valid expansion syntax. RTFM about ${lookup ...
