This would just give the same address as you started.

No you can't define these. They coorespond the the components of the
address coming in.

This one is right.

I would just do this.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ffsr
I put this rule in my exim.conf to test and this is the result.
# exim -brw [EMAIL PROTECTED]
sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
env-from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
env-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
So outbound addresses are rewritten and inbound ones are left alone.
I also set the primary_hostname to my dynamic dns name so that the
Message-Id gets set properly(look in the header of this mail).
HTH,
