Wait a minute ... That won't help. If your commercial mail application looks
at the headers at all, and get it wrong, it's the line added by the internal
server you have to get rid of.
If that's not possible, then I think you have to start messing on the TCP/IP
level and make it look like the connection from the Exim server actually
comes from the remote host. It's theoretically possible, but ...
