Re: exim outgoing addresses...
Ok, my setup is similar to yours, so maybe my rewrite rules will help. My
local hostname is shaitan and the email address I want displayed in the From:
field is rvf@linux.wku.edu.
Here is my rewrite rule from /etc/exim.conf:
*@shaitan ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
{$value}fail} bcfrF
Just replace shaitan with your local host name, which should also be specified
in the qualify_domain variable in /etc/exim.conf.
My local username is 'rvf' (unrelated to my email address), so I have this my
/etc/email-addresses:
rvf: rvf@linux.wku.edu
The format is 'local user name: email address'.
