I don't understand this yet, I must buy the Exim book, but the Debian
install of Exim has the following in it's exim.conf file at the top
of the rewrite section:

*@+local_domains ${lookup{${local_part}}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
                   {$value}fail} Ffrs


Then, if your logon is "me" and you enter:
me: mihamina.rakotomandimby@???

in /etc/email-addresses you should get the result you want.
