I'm a total newcomer to exim, but my setup sounds a bit like your "grendel";
I dealt with this by adding the following in my exim.conf:
######################################################################
# REWRITE CONFIGURATION #
######################################################################
allen@??? allen@??? FfRs
end
Here, "kirtley.midland" is my local host/domain (quite meaningless outside
our home LAN), exim happily rewrites this to allen@??? in every
outgoing message (see the headers to this message).
So far I haven't discovered anything which exim can't do, even in a setup
far removed from that envisaged by its designer...
