It's your setup, not only does that work here but "restricted characters 
..." does not even appear in the Exim source distribution - "Restricted 
characters ..." does in the default config file, but the listed characters 
it spits that out at does not include '.

I think this is the usual crap Debian bastardisation where they think they 
are superior to the orignal author and just change things without thinking 
about the consequences.

Just alter the RCPT ACL so it's not bollocks.
