Exim should not rewrite addresses in header lines unless it is told to do
so. As far as I can see, switchboard.ericsson.se isn't an alias for
anything; it just has MX records pointing to various servers, whereas I
cannot find any entries for kieraypc01.p.y.ki.era.ericcson.se in the DNS
at all.
I don't think this is an Exim problem. Try sending me a message direct
(not via the Exim list) and I will send you back the headers, which will
show which machines it passed through, and may indicate what MTAs they
are running.
