Hi...
Erm, what I normally do, is just to have exim relay all my messages to a
smtp queue at my uplink provider.
This will normally work, because exim will accept the default from line as
kalum@??? as you stated, but I think you are refering to exim adding
headers to the message.
Your uplink's smtp queue will normally accept connections on a IP based
level, so this will not be a problem for you if you are to use a relay. At
the relay, your message's headers will be reformated and the remote smtp
server will send it off for delivery.
