My computer's hostname = scab
             domain    = nixnotes.org
             user name = kent
  email address I want = ktb@nixnotes.org

So I have the following -

/etc/email-addresses
kent: ktb@nixnotes.org

/etc/exim.conf
qualify_domain = scab.nixnotes.org
local_domains = localhost:scab.nixnotes.org

*@scab.nixnotes.org    ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
                                                {$value}fail} bcfrF

Make sure you restart exim -
# /etc/init.d/exim reload

hth,
kent
