I can use Fetchmail and Mutt to read mail from the tc.umn.edu server, and I can send e-mail fine as well. The problem is that my sent messages arrive from "shadow@tc.umn.edu", which isn't the e-mail address they have to reply to! (No reply-to field is defined either..) How can I make messages I send thru mutt & exim come from mcmi0037@tc.umn.edu?

Well, there is a quite elegant solution to this. At the end of your exim.conf
there should be some sample of an address rewriting rule, which can map local
user addresses to extern addresses (using an external text file).
The file would look like:
shadow mcmi0037@tc.umn.edu
and the rule
*@localhost ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
{$value}fail} bcfrF
well, you should replace localhost with whats appropriate (the qualify_domain,
probably).
