Exim was designed to work internally with qualified addresses entirely,
'cause that's what the RFCs say email addresses are. At the borders of
Exim there are some cases when incoming unqualified addresses are
accepted, but they are immediately qualified. That applies to envelope
addresses. Exim doesn't care very much about what is in the header
lines, unless you set one of the header-checking options. However, if
you try to rewrite an address in a header line and it is unqualified,
Exim will first of all qualify it, because the rewriting functions
expect to deal with full addresses.

Yup. That's the only way to do this.

What is the deep and mysterious reason that makes you want to treat
cc047 and cc047@??? differently?
