The condition:

match_local_part{$local_part}{lsearch;/etc/exim4/aliases/$domain}

is probably a close match to:

bool{${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/exim4/aliases/$domain}{yes}{no}}}

This has the advantage of _only_ looking at $domain as something for
constructing a path component, so as long as it comes after something
which validates that $domain is "real" (and not something like
"../../../etc/passwd"), you're safe. Your particular use, based upon
$domain, was pretty safe before too.

Unfortunately, people used stuff like $h_from: as a key, which suddenly
means that you get SQL injection attacks. We played whack-a-mole with
explaining that people had insecure configurations and mostly got
ignored. So we made a security-motivated compatibility-breaking change
so that the default was harder to make insecure.
