Ok, my setup is similar to yours, so maybe my rewrite rules will help. My
local hostname is shaitan and the email address I want displayed in the From:
field is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Here is my rewrite rule from /etc/exim.conf:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
{$value}fail} bcfrF
Just replace shaitan with your local host name, which should also be specified
in the qualify_domain variable in /etc/exim.conf.
My local username is 'rvf' (unrelated to my email address), so I have this my
/etc/email-addresses:
rvf: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The format is 'local user name: email address'.
