OK, I may be misunderstanding here, but don't you just want a rewrite rule based on a lookup ? It has nothing to do with routers as far as I can see.

Here's an example of a rewrite rule doing something similar:

*@*     ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/exim/senders}{$value}fail} frFs


That looks up the local part (the first "*") in a file and rewrites (if they match) the from header, the reply header, the envelope from and the sender header.
You then have a file called /etc/exim/senders (in this case) with contents along the lines of

localpart1: newaddress@???
localpart2: newaddress2@???

and so on.

Have a look at http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch31.html for more details.

The authentication and sending is a different matter and I'm not sure what issues you're having there - possibly it's too early and I haven't had enough coffee yet.

Hmm. This sounds like a Debian specific thing. I'm afraid I don't know how they do things like that.
