In the file /etc/exim.conf (at the very end of the file), there should
be a section called `Rewrite Configuration'. If you have only one or
two users, you can simply list the relevant rewrite information like
this:
######################################################################
# REWRITE CONFIGURATION #
######################################################################
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] frs
(where the first address is your `private' one, so to speak, and the
second is the one that you want people outside your local setup to
use)
The flags determine which fields are rewritten. F means that the
envelope From field is rewritten; f rewrites the From header; r
rewrites the Reply-to header; s rewrites the Sender header.
For systems with more users, there are cleverer automated ways (using
pattern-matching) to achieve rewriting. All of this is documented
clearly and thoroughly in section 33 of /usr/doc/exim/spec.txt.)
