I'm not sure if this is done properly, but in the rewrite
configuration section at the end of exim.conf I have
blu@quash jardine@tesionmail.de frF
and it seems to work. I must say I wasn't sure about those
letters at the end when I did it, and I certainly can't
remember anything about them now. "blu" is my user name,
"quash" the name of my machine.
