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...
