A late reply, but I've been delving into exim lately. From
/usr/share/doc/exim/README.Debian.gz:
--- snip ---
The config file written by eximconfig includes a feature where you can
set the email address used for outgoing emails on a per-user basis by
editing /etc/email-addresses.
--- end ---
You probably have one sitting there right now that was installed by
exim, just needs your cusomizations. Syntax is:
#user: someone@isp.com
#otheruser: someoneelse@anotherisp.com
After trying all the things people suggested for .muttrc, this is what
worked for me.
Cheers,
Paul
