No. local_parts has nothing to do with sender addresses, it tests
the local part of the *recipient* address.

There are many ways to skin this cat. I have separate whitelists for
sender domains (e.g. customers & partners) and individual sender
addresses when I don't want to whitelist a whole domain (e.g.
customer@???). Both lists are reasonably short, so I use simple
ASCII files and lsearch for them:
In the dnslists deny stanza in my RCPT ACL, I include the following
two conditions to exclude whitelisted senders from the DNSBL checks:
!sender_domains = lsearch;/usr/exim/domain_whitelist
!senders = @@lsearch;/usr/exim/sender_whitelist
where domain_whitelist contains domain names, one per line, and
sender_whitelist contains lines like:
aol.com: user1 : user2 : user3
