Then you use return_path to control the SMTP Envelope Sender and you use
routing to adjust the recipients before it hits the transport.

The problem with changing the recipient address with rewriting is that
each time an address is generated by a Director or Router, it's subject
to rewriting (unless the rewriting is explicitly SMTP-time).

The Exim way is to generate the recipient addresses in the correct form
in the Routers.

BTW, Exim has had security issues in the past. They're rare, but have
happened. ISTR there was at least one issue somewhere between 3.20 and
3.36 but the details escape me.
