May one ask where an address of that form is originating - how it is getting
into Exim's environment, and whether it really is at 'smtp time' (a submission
session with a correspondent).
as in:
- MUA with 'experimental' settings
- On-box (binary invocation, queue injection, smtp session) MLM,
- script or web-app
- *prior* address-rewrite
or, perchance, is the '*' in your example actually a wildcard that does not
itself exist, but rahtehr represents a variety of other possible strings?
I ask because, *as shown* the right side is not a legal/recognizable domain.tld
format, with a literal '*' in it, never mind .admin' not being any tld or
country I'm aware of...
More to the point, if you can share what the end goal is, the 'why you need it'
situation, perhaps someone here may have another way that is already proven.
HTH,
