Kari,

    Read the FAQ. There is a question in the FAQ that addresses your
problem. Essentially, you have to run two exim daemons : one that rewrites
the addresses, and one that doesnt. The one that doesnt rewrite, does
local network deliveries and passes all non-local network destined mails
to the second daemon.
