1) Configure your mail client to create the correct From: header.

2)  If you still need to rewrite addresses (eg "sphere@<host>" to
        "r.purgier@???") then ensure that the line in exim's
        rewrite section reads as follows :


    *@<host>  ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}{$value}fail} frFs


where "<host>" is replaced by the actual FQDN of the machine. Also,
since you have other rewriting rules in place, ensure that none of
them match first and take precedence over this one.
