How is this query generated? I'm guessing that you've got something like
...(mail=$local_part@$domain)...
in the original text. Is this right? Where are you using this query?
I can see one way it might arise:
RCPT TO:<"mary@???>
I have only recently realized that the manual is not very clear in
describing what value you actually get in $local_domain. The value is
dequoted, so that, for example, "x@y"@z and x\@y@z give rise to the
same local part (namely x@y). It's a good idea to use
${quote:$local_part}@$domain
in places where special characters in the local part might cause
problems.
