I am currently using
local_sender_retain = true
local_from_check = false
trusted_users = andrew
in my exim4.conf to allow my from headers to remain unchanged in
exim4. would /etc/email-addresses make this unnecessary?

This is the part that I think is a problem. I use different email
addresses for different purposes and mutt automatically sets the
appropriate from address for me depending on the mail box I'm in. So,
would I spec more than one relationship in /etc/email-addresses? I
would love to get my local machine's exim4.conf down to a more stock
configuration.

how does the MTA know what from address, among many, you want?
