Doug,

I have the following ACL set for acl_smtp_rcpt (exim4 only). It would
stop the relay above by spotting the '@' in the local_part,
regardless of the quotes.

deny local_parts = ^.*[@%!/|]
      message     = Invalid characters in local_part of recipient address



Hope this helps.

Glenn

p.s. what a great domainname!
