There was an error in the first reply in the transport, see below for fix.

How about:
remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
headers_rewrite = *@cacetech.com "{if eq{$1}{gianlucav}\
{gianluca.varenni}fail}\
@cacetech.com" frs
hosts_try_auth = <your_smtp_server>
return_path = gianluca.varenni@???
<whatever other options you might need to add>
(Put this in your transports. There's better ways of doing this, but just do this right quick
so that you can get some idea of what you could do.)

You're not blind, Exim is huge, especially for someone new. Might I suggest that for your
configuration file you completely scrap that thing and start from scratch using
whatever the manual tells you. spec.txt is your friend. I'm on my fourth or fifth
read, but it helped.
