as I don't need these strange local parts for my local domains I decided to
use a whitelist on the rcpt acl. In
<
https://github.com/Exim/exim/blob/master/src/src/configure.default#L333>)
the following ACL is suggested:
deny message = Restricted characters in address
domains = +local_domains
local_parts = ^[.] : ^.*[@%!/|]
Using
local_parts = ^[.] : !^[A-Za-z0-9.+_-]+\$
is less surprising (given there are really no addresses with funny local
parts in local_domains) and more secure, especially if you feed your local
parts via SQL/LDAP to an external backend.
