It is not a problem with Exim; fetchmail interprets a null return-path as an
unqualified address, and adds the domain, which it shouldn't.

Not that I found; the only solution I found was to add `no rewrite' to
.fetchmailrc; the problem with this is that fetchmail creates the MAIL FROM
command when passing the message to Exim using the From: header, rather than
Return-path.
