from that error message:

that bit where it says "eval:10*{${lookup"
should say "eval:10*(${lookup" or possibly "eval:10*${lookup"


looking at the lookup

and you're probably going to want a default expansion in the lookup
so "SMTP_allowed='YES'}}" becomes "SMTP_allowed='YES'}{$value}{-99}}"

or something like that to cover the cases where no result is found in
the database
