I am assuming that your daughter in this case is on your local system.
Take a look at this:
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-3.20/doc/html/spec_34.html#SEC740
I think what you would do is move the rewriting rule at the bottom of
your exim.conf file up to the remote_smtp transport section. It would
look something like this:
rewrite_headers *@your_hostname_here \
${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
{$value}fail} bcfrF
Mind you, I haven't tried it...
