OK, I'm currently running the next release of Exim and the conf file
was changed slightly but that didn't seem to cause you a problem...

You may want to also have (I think)
qualify_domain = Sith.JJLNet
qualify_recipient = Sith.JJLNet
so that if say cron mails root, then the mail will end up at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (or whatever account root is redirected to)

you could say (without expanding the star yourself)
local_domains = localhost:*.JJLNet

I assume you meant that and didn't miss-type 192.168.1.0 :)

Yep, your right
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] F
^
as we need to rewrite the From field as opposed to the From: field!
This is assuming you added <qualify_recipient = Sith.JJLNet> to exim.conf
If you don't add this, then I guess it would be
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] F

Depends how fetchmail is set up I guess. If you have something like:
user jjlupa is jon here
then you would use in a .forward file:
if $header_to: contains "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or
$header_to: contains "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
then deliver [EMAIL PROTECTED]
endif
and read it locally at Rankor. MS-Win users can get the mail from a
POP3 daemon on Sith.JJLNet (or what other mail server you like).

Yes.
PS. stumpel.html deals with the case of a network where many users use
one email account. If that is not required, you could do away with the
outfilt stuff and just have this rewrite rule:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] bcfrFs
^^ again, depending on qualify recipient etc.
HTH,
