Read up on taint in the docs. The common place for a detaining
operation is in a router, by extracting from trusted data (ie.
held locally on the system) using the tainted data as a search key.
Usually this is done in a way that (for a local-part) populates
a variable "$local_part_data".

The verification you are doing - a regex match - is technically insufficient
because Exim cannot reason deeply about REs. It's also not good enough on
a wider view, as is doesn't refuse content within the (possibly attacker-supplied)
local-part which is potentially damaging. Think in terms of shell metacharacters,
and Exim's own expansions syntax - and never forget the lessors of the log4j debacle.
