1. I don't fully understand the problem, because I don't know how you've
set up MySQL (and I'm not a MySQL users anyway).
2. I'm not making any functional changes to Exim 3, and it is all
different in Exim 4. You should have access to $local_part and $domain
at the equivalent point in Exim 4.
3. If you have something along the lines of
recipients_reject_except = mysql;select ....
(in other words, something that does not start with "user@") Exim will
indeed check the domain on its own first. But if that fails, it should
repeat the lookup on the complete address.
