Read (and tried) both of those. Neither work, at least not with kmail. As
I mentioned in my original post, I haven't figured out a way to have kmail
pass a variable email address to exim, so I can't reliably pass an address
along with the -f option.

This isn't a kmail-specific problem, either -- I run a phpBB forums board
where I'm running into the exact same issue. Short of hacking the phpBB
code, it doesn't seem possible to use the local transport -- I have to use
SMTP or the return-path gets munged. (again, because those apps don't
understand they have to pass the "-f 'email@address'" parameter.)

I can't imagine no one has run into this before -- is there any other way to
get exim to not set the return-path according to login name short of using
SMTP?
