Glad to see that I'm not the only one having the same problem...
In my /etc/exim.conf, I have a line:

begin rewrite

*@* ${lookup{$1}dbm{/etc/email-addresses.dbm}{$value}fail} bctfrF

and /etc/email-addresses looks like:

hans: hans.malissa@???

/etc/email-addresses.dbm was created by

# exim_dbmbuild /etc/email-addresses /etc/email-addresses.dbm

when I test the rewriting configuration, it seems to work:

# exim -brw hans
sender: hans@???
from: hans.malissa@???
to: hans.malissa@???
cc: hans.malissa@???
bcc: hans.malissa@???
reply-to: hans.malissa@???
env-from: hans.malissa@???
env-to: hans@???

But when I try to send any email, they seem to be coming from
Hans Malissa <hans@>

So this is the same problem. I don't know what's wrong, the syntax of the
rewrite line in /etc/exim.conf seems to be right.
I'd be glad to get any suggestions on that.
