Address rewriting is something that has to be specifically enable. There
is no 'default' address rewriting that is done. If your exim is
rewriiting its becuase someone has specifically configured your exim to
do that. If you are the only person that has worked on it, then you need
to take a closer look at the rewrite rules you have setup and determine
how you want them to work (or not, as the acase may be). If someone else
helped you, then they need to help you. If you have cut and pasted
config lines into your exim config without understanding them, then go
back and understand them.
