Package: exim4
Version: 4.50-4
Severity: minor

Very recently (between 4.50-4 and 4.50-6) the local_parts restrictions
in /etc/exim4/conf.d/acl/30_exim4-config_check_rcpt changed, but the
comments discussing the restrictions did not change, so the actual
restrictions and the explanation are now inconsistent.

Also, the changelog makes no mention of this change.  I'd like to know
the rationale.

Thanks,
AMC
