You could just use an md5 hash of the addresses. Ie,
$sender_address
Becomes:
${md5:$sender_address}
Alternatively, if you really do just want to replace all non
letter/number/@ chars with underscores, wrap it like so:
${sg{$sender_address}...@a-za-z0-9]}{_}}
For example:
m...@haven:~$ sudo exim4 -be
'${sg{"foo-b../ar"@wibble.com}...@a-za-z0-9]}{_}}'
_foo_b___...@wibble_com
m...@haven:~$
