I'd be glad to send you a copy of my exim.conf but there's absolutely
nothing special about my setup. It's just the stock SMTP setup from
eximconfig with the addition of that rewrite rule that I posted in my
previous response. I do all my own mail delivery, ie., I don't use a
smarthost, but that's mainly because I'm a control freak and like to
see the entry in my exim log that says "mail delivered" when I send
email to someone.
