It should work, unless you have exim overwriting it. The easiest way
to do this on a Debian box is to usually to add a rule like
localuser : email@isp.com
to the file /etc/email-addresses. That works for all MUA's that use
the local MTA (i.e. exim) to send mail as long as you have not hacked
up your exim.conf file too much.....
