At the end of your exim.conf there should be some sample of an address rewriting rule, which can map local user addresses to extern addresses (using an external text file).
The file would look like:
shadow [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and the rule
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
{$value}fail} bcfrF
well, you should replace localhost with whats appropriate (the qualify_domain,
probably).
