I think a better way to handle this is to let exim rewrite your
headers. The following is at the end of my /etc/exim.conf:


######################################################################
#                      REWRITE CONFIGURATION                         #
######################################################################

^(b3po|wwjt)@* timmons@ezy.net Ffr

# End of Exim configuration file


The username portion is part of a regular expression (sorry if you
knew that already) that matches our local names with the pop mail
name. Therefore, you would replace 

^(b3po|wwjt)@* timmons@ezy.net

with

^local-username-here@* pop-username-here@pop-hostname-here

Let me know if you have any other questions.

BTW, I have seen so many postings on smail. I would encourage smail
users to try out exim. Not only is it more powerful, its configuration
is far easier and more logical than that of smail.

Thanks,
Bake
