Baaaa.
</SheepishMode>
Sorry.
My Misunderstanding. Thank you for having the time and patience to put
up with my ignorance.
I have now achieved my aim - A psuedanonymous remailing service. For
anyone else who has actually been following this thread, I include the
solution at the end of this email.
For anyone wishing to test this, without going to the trouble of setting it up,
I have also set up a working example to show you what happens, as I don't
seem to have made my previous explanation clear enough. Send an email
to
remailer@???
and you will get your email back, reheaded as if sent to you by one of our
users. Note the absence of (hopefully) all of the 'real' email information
headers.
Intended use:
A wishes to send B an email, and have the ability of receiving a reply
BUT neither want to divulge 'real' email identity
AND neither want to reconfigure their email client.
Try it and see.
If anyone has any enhancements or suggestions regarding this, I would be
grateful hearing them. I don't feel that it's perfect yet, but it works.

=============================================
Remail Configuration.
Part 1) - Registered Users
# /etc/freeport.aliases
# (standard alias file)
local_username: your.real@???
part 2) - Reply Address
# /etc/freeport.users
# (basically, the reverse of the above file)
your.real@???: Local.username
part 3) - The Exim Director
remailer:
domains = freeport.itmagic.ltd.uk (or whatever)
driver = aliasfile
search_type = lsearch
file = /etc/freeport.aliases
headers_remove = From:Reply_To
headers_add = "From: ${lookup{$sender_address}\
lsearch{/etc/freeport.users}\
{${value}@???}\
{${sender_address}}}"
