You can also install an ident daemon that doesn't return usernames and
returns some encrypted string or a uid or something, instead.
I use an identd that doesn't return anything if you put a .noident
file in their home directory.
This deals with remote deliveries, but I'm not sure if exim puts the
username in itself on mail originating from on the machine that
doesn't use SMTP ... you could put a conditional in
received_header_text to deal with that if so.
