As Philip said, you cannot do as you state - apart from anything else how
do you match any envelope address up the appropriate header.

So, a couple of suggestions as to ways that this could be done (no short
term suggestions - these all involve modifying exim):-

  1. In this case the address is likely to have come from an alias
     or similar on the local host.  Maybe there would be some advantage
     to the parent address of the failing address also  being output
     by the warning generator.


  2. Have a specially tagged set of rewrite rules through which addresses
     are put prior to being output in messages


  3. Doesn't the DSN stuff overlap on this - original addresses and
     derived addresses??  [related to (1) above]
