Yes, but don't use the MTA (Exim) for it. Do it in the MUA, and have
whatever changes the .sig also change the From: header.

If it's on a Unix box, running Exim, set trusted_groups or
trusted_users appropriately in the Exim config.

If you want the SMTP envelope rewritten, then that's doable - you could
even do it inside Exim, based upon the From: header (I think; I only use
rewrites for obscuration, and would need to look up more dynamic stuff).

Don't write word-processors in Assembler. Don't get the MTA fiddling
with existing headers based upon message content. These are both
examples of breaking the abstraction interface. The MTA's already
overloaded, for Sendmail-compatibility.
