Have you set up an appropriate alias file so that deliveries to
Glenn.Carver@??? work? If not, there is no point rewriting
outgoing addresses, because the recipients of the messages won't be able
to reply...

That applies only to incoming SMTP messages. Exim knows who the senders
of local messages are.
