I've got Exim 1.61 running on a Sun Solaris 2.5.1 machine (our mail hub)
using a tweaked copy of the default configuration (attached).
However, I've tried to follow the rewriting example in the manual in
which local usernames are replaced by real names
e.g.
glenn@??? becomes Glenn.Carver@???
However, although running exim in test mode shows the rewriting works,
the problem is that exim then complains the local part (now Glenn.Carver)
is bad e.g.
# exim -v -bt glenn@???
Address rewritten as: Glenn.Carver@???
Glenn.Carver@??? is undeliverable:
unknown local-part "glenn.carver" in domain "atm.ch.cam.ac.uk"
I have the option 'sender_verify=yes' set which may be the problem, but
I am reluctant to give it up. I also wondered whether I'd need to
set no_check_local_user, but again, I'm not keen on this as I would
prefer to check.
Can I get around this?

# ******** CAESAR'S EXIM MAIL CONFIGURATION FILE **********
# Glenn 9/3/97
# This is a default configuration file which will operate correctly in
# uncomplicated installations. Please see the manual for a complete list
# of all the runtime configuration options.
# This file is divided into several parts, all but the last of which are
# terminated by a line containing the word "end". The parts must appear
# in the correct order, and all must be present (even if some of them are
# in fact empty). Blank lines, and lines starting with # are ignored.

# MAIN CONFIGURATION SETTINGS #
######################################################################
# Specify your host's canonical name here. If this option is not set, the
# uname() function is called to obtain the name.
# primary_hostname =
# Specify the domain you want to be added to all unqualified addresses
# here. If this option is not set, the primary_hostname value is used.
qualify_domain = atm.ch.cam.ac.uk
# If you want unqualified recipient addresses to be qualified with a different
# domain to unqualified sender addresses, specify the recipient domain here.
# If this option is not set, the qualify_domain value is used.
# qualify_recipient =
# Specify your local domains as a colon-separated list here. If this option
# is not set (i.e. not mentioned in the configuration file), the
# qualify_recipient value is used as the only local domain. If you do not want
# to do any local deliveries, uncomment the following line, but do not supply
# any data for it. This sets local_domains to an empty string, which is not
# the same as not mentioning it at all. An empty string specifies that there
# are no local domains; not setting it at all causes the default value (the
# setting of qualify_recipient) to be used.
local_domains = "atm.ch.cam.ac.uk:ozone-sec.ch.cam.ac.uk:*.atm.ch.cam.ac.uk"
# No local deliveries will ever be run under the uids of these users (a colon-
# separated list). Note the default setting means you cannot deliver mail
# addressed to root as if it were a normal user. (This isn't usually a problem,
# as most sites have an alias for root that redirects such mail to a human
# administrator.)
never_users = root:daemon:bin:exim
# If you want Exim to support the "percent hack" for all your local domains,
# uncomment the following line. This is the feature by which mail addressed
# to x%y@z (where z is one of your local domains) is locally rerouted to
# x@y and sent on. Otherwise x%y is treated as an ordinary local part.
# percent_hack_domains=*
# If you are running Exim under its own uid (recommended), then you should
# set up that uid as a trusted user by de-commenting the following and
# changing the name if necessary.
trusted_users = exim
# Additional options added by Glenn. See Exim documentation for full
# description of these options.

# REWRITE CONFIGURATION #
######################################################################
# Sometimes a user misconfigures Pine or Netscape and the domain
# name includes the hostname. We need to strip this.

# If this is uncommented, then local userids are replaced by
