I have a problem when I try to send a email with an underscore in the
address.
For example: If I try to send a mail to ph_malko@??? , I get the error
501: ph_malko@???: "@" or "." expected after ph>
See also below
$ /usr/exim/bin/exim -odf -v ph_malko@???
.

Sorry if this gets in double copy, but I forgot to set the sender
correctly and the list server of course seems not to accept it.

I also do not understand what's the problem. Exim does not care that
an recipient address has a _ or not. I have users with _ on my
machine and there is no problem delivering mail to them. Unless
Christian has added _ to the standard
deny local_parts = ^.*[@%!/|] : ^\\.
