Look in your Exim configuration for the line "restricted characters in
address". You'll notice that in the rcpt acl there's a small piece of
configuration that restricts which characters can be used in local
parts. It will have an apostrophe in the regular expression in this
configuration. If you remove that apostrophe and restart Exim, it should
work.
