The option percent_hack_domains applies only to *local* domains. This is
stated in the documentation for percent_hack_domains. Maybe it isn't
clear enough?
When Exim 3 is acting as a relay, which I seem to recall is what you are
doing, it does not examine the local parts of the addresses it is
relaying. It is up to the hosts that you relay to to be vigilant.
In Exim 4, however, you will be able to specify this kind of check on
local parts before relaying.
I'm soon going to have to start ignoring this list, in order to get Exim
4 released..... :-)
