I'll have a look at that.

Symptoms: the local router fails (appropriately) because $local_part is
not a local user, and then the virtual mail router fails because
depending on the contents of 'XXXX' in the condition line

condition = ${lookup mysql{SELECT email_username FROM league where
email_username='XXXX'}{$value}fail}

exim generates an error and either the email is refused or $local_part
($local_part_data?) is set to zero and the email goes nowhere. Somehow I
need to be able to pass a valid and detainted user@domain to smtp.

I will do some (more) reading as Andrew suggested.

Thank you

Cam
