I set up exim a few weeks ago, so take my newbie 'advice' with a pinch

Since you put newsguy.com and dslextreme.com as local domains that is
what I'd expect.
If you want to change email addresses when sending mail outside your
little LAN you probably want to look at /etc/email-addresses (the
standard Debian install should have a rewrite rule) and add rewrites
there (reader -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] and so on).
I hope I'm big of some help....
