Tell your MUA to tell your MTA to set the envelope sender to whatever
you need it to be.

I don't know exim, but if it's the same as sendmail, you want to make
sure the sendmail-emulation-wrapper is invoked with '-f osk@hem.passagen.se'.

E.g., with mutt you'd want something like this in ~/.muttrc:

  set sendmail='/usr/sbin/sendmail -oem -oi -f osk@hem.passagen.se'
