No, the problem is somewhere else.

That's a regular expression matching any string that has an "a" before
its beginning.

what you want is:

CHECK_RCPT_LOCAL_LOCALPARTS = ^[a.] : ^.*[@%!/|\''#&?]

or (probably better understandeable

CHECK_RCPT_LOCAL_LOCALPARTS = ^[a] : ^[.] : ^.*[@%!/|\''#&?]

Both regular expressions matche all strings that start with a dot or
an "a" or contain one of the characters from [@%!/|\''#&?] at any
place.

Greetings
