Almost certainly your problem is that you are using strtok(), which
modifies the source string in place by writing null characters over the
delimiters. I am guessing that you didn't copy the email address into
your own storage first, and so are modifying exim's copy which it later
uses to write the spool file.

Why not use something like this instead (or one of the millions of other
possible variations):

    int i = strcspn(emailaddr, "@");


    strncpy(lpart_domain->localpart, emailaddr, i);
    lpart_domain->localpart[i] = '\0';


    strcpy(lpart_domain->domain, emailaddr + i + 1);


And zeroing out the full string buffers first is almost certainly
unnecessary.
