Are you sure?

Taking your example, I created a two-line text file and converted it to
DBM format using exim_dbmbuild:

example.com
xxx.example.com

Then using exim -be I tried:

> ${lookup{example.com}dbm{alllocal}{yes}{no}}

yes
> ${lookup{xxx.example.com}dbm{alllocal}{yes}{no}}

yes
> ${lookup{marcperkel.example.com}dbm{alllocal}{yes}{no}}

no

Looks to my (untrained, I try not to use DBM files much) eye that your
assertin is invalid. But you did try this before posting, right?
