The line was put there when you ran eximconfig and told it that your
mail should appear to be coming from your schhol's domain.

The way to fix this is _not_ to remove the qualify_domain setting,
but rather to go a little bit further down in exim.conf, uncomment the
'qualify_recipient' line, and set it to localhost (or some other name
that your machine will recognize as referring to itself).

You will probably also want to verify that local_domains is set
to localhost (and any non-localhost name you may have used for
qualify_recipient), as your server will attempt to perform local delivery
for any address at your school's domain if local_domains is not set.

[1]  Unless you're hosting a registered domain on your machine, but if
you were, you would've told eximconfig that mail should appear to come
from that domain instead of your school's.
