If you're using Sendmail, how is configuring Exim doing to help ?

One possibility are rewrite rules :-

begin rewrite
*@server.domain.net    admin@???        F


This would have to be tested (it's come out of my memory so could easily be
wrong), and you may want to tinker with it to rewrite exactly what you want.
"F" rewrites the envelope from. See the documentation.

Depends what you rewrite! By just changing the envelope you should be ok
though (assuming that 'whatever@???' is a valid address).
