[Exim] how do i stop exim from using email-addresses file in…

hello group

at home i have a set-up exim as my mta. i am not an expert, but i use
'smarthost' option. in /etc/email-addresses, i have an entry like this:

sandip : myusername@???

without this, my isp wont send the mails out.

my other family members have accounts on the same pc.

when i send the mail to any of these, it appears to be coming from
myusername@??? instead of sandip@localhost or sandip@home.

when they reply, it goes to myusername@???.

how do i stop it from happening?

i want exim to make the mail appear to be coming from myusername@???
when i am sending mail to an 'outside' address. To local users, it should
appear to be coming from sandip@loocalhost.

any suggestions on how it can be done?

and yes, i am not subscribed to the list. so could you mark a copy of
replies to this address also?

regards,
sandip p deshmukh
