In Exim 3 the expansion was done before the list was split up into
separate items.
In Exim 4, the list is split up into separate items, and each item is
separately expanded.
A colon (:) is the list separator. So Exim thinks you have given it two
items, and tries to expand the first one, "/etc/exim/${lookup
{${local_part}@${domain}". Notice that it has stopped at the colon.
You can fix this either by doubling the colon, or using a different list
separator.
