I'm looking forward to it.
I now realise (ater more R-ing TFM) that I could get what I need with some
configuration - because exim is SO boss - something like (at the top of directors);

dot_syntax:
driver = smartuser
condition = ${if match{$local_part}{^\\.|\\.\\.|\\.\$}{yes}{no}}
new_address = :fail: local part dot syntax
(verify_only if I only want this for address testing)

and something at the top of routers - maybe;

remote_dot_syntax:
driver = domainlist
condition = ${if match{$local_part}{^\\.|\\.\\.|\\.\$}{yes}{no}}
route_list = * 127.0.0.1 byname
self = local
(verify_only)

But I'm sure there are other, neater ways of doing it.
Thanks again for your time.
