I think I miscommunicated my goal. This machine has a hundred or so
accounts (will be 10000 or so soon), and all of the users use a
proprietary MUA. This MUA is so incredibly broken that it doesn't allow
you to put a From: header in your messages. Thus, all of the messages
leaving this machine show up as user@??? (our domain). However,
they actually work for other comapanies, whose email we host. So I need
exim, when it receives their messages, to append a specific domain,
depending on their user id. I know this is a wierd situation, considering
that normally the MUA is supposed to provide this functionality by
allowing the user to specify a From: address. <sigh>

Since lookup of local part is not supported, do you see ANY way for me to
do this without going back to sendmail (aaaaaugh)?
