OK, you've got a point :-( I used mailx as the very minimum, but
what I really meant was mutt (which I use sometimes when not
running X or through ssh). Yes, I know, I could use 'set
envelope_from', but cannot I just have exim do this for me?

Something like this:
if (user="matej") then
if (from = "matej<at>myowndomain") or \
(from = "cepl<at>ISPdomain") then
envelope_from = from
else
envelope_from = matej<at>myowndomain
else if (user = "ceplova") then
envelope_from = ceplova<at>herschooldomain
else
do_nothing (* keep original envelope_from, so that mails
from root etc. would fail when leaving to
the outside world *)

Currently everything above work, except that when I (matej) send
an email with From: header "cepl<at>ISPdomain" it gets
envelope_from "matej<at>myowndomain". So probably what I would
like to achieve is something like this (forget
/etc/email-addresses):
matej<at><at> if $from contains cepl<at>ISPdomain then \
cepl<at>ISPdomain \
else matej<at>myowndomain \
endif frFsq
ceplova<at><at> ceplova<at>herschooldomain frFsq
Any thoughts?
Thanks for patience with a clueless newbie,
Matej
