qualify_recipient will be appended if a *recipient* is provided without
domainname.. ;)
My matter is the sender address. Even when I set up the mailer (pine) to
set a customized header line (From:vtmue@???) exim changes it
to the full host name.
Now the funny side: When I add the following rule at the end of the config
file:

*@*.ruf.uni-freiburg.de $1@??? Ffrs

one should expect that the address then is changed to vtmue@???
but - as you can see in this mail's header - it becomes
vtmue@???!
I tried it both on v1.82 and v1.92 so maybe I should change to v2 now :)

cheerio,
vt
