What if a message is sent to both internal and external recipients? You
want to rewrite the copy which goes outside but not the one which
remains internal?

One way of doing this is to have your internal mail machines send
outgoing mail to a smarthost rather than directly to external
recipients. That smarthost can then do the rewriting for you, and it
obviously then does it only for mail which is destined for the outside.

You can achieve this with two Exim configurations on the same machine,
and you should probably even be able to do it with Exim 3, although you
should probably upgrade anyway.
