Hmm, an apostrophe in a user's name once caused our (long replaced) account 
administration system to delete all our user accounts. Best avoided where 
they can be.

Apostrophes are legal in local parts RFC5321. I think the default Exim 
configuration permits them.

MS Exchange? It does seem to allow an apostrophe in the local part for 
locally submitted, outbound email. I don't know if it would allow it for a 
local user.
