Exim can acquire the recipient email address from $local_part and $domain.
So you'd need to use headers_remove and headers_add in your transport - and
make sure that you're only delivering one message at a time. However, you
may wish to take care to preserve the original content of the headers that
you're modifying - depending on what you're doing at the back end.

I presume that you mean "acquire the email from the received field" rather
than "strip" (= remove).

Strictly, $local_part and $domain aren't acquired from the received header,
rather the received header is built using those variables (I think).
