You didn't say what you changed with exim but I'm assuming you changed
the "rewrite configuration" section at the bottom of /etc/exim.conf?

Did you also include your user name and rewrite info in -
/etc/email-addresses ?

For example my rewrite configuration from /etc/exim.conf -
*@scab.nixnotes.org    ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
  ^^^                                           {$value}fail} bcfrF
hostname

 From /etc/email-addresses
 kent: ktb@nixnotes.org
 ^^^^
 user name

hth,
kent
