Section 41.6 of the Exim manual describes how to do this using the
(deprecated) demime condition. Note you'll have to compile support
for this into exim.
Can't say I've used this recently. It seemed to work OK when I did.

[exim] Rewrite Reply-To dependent on another header
Hi all, Re-sending this as it didn't appear to make it to the list, apologies if anyone gets it twice ! I am a member of an email mailing list that's list owner insists on setting the reply address back to the original sender rather than the more conventional reply to the list. So what I would like to do is insert a Reply-To: header that by default sends replies back to the list. There are other headers that I can use to identify the list messages, so that I only re-write the correct messages, infact one of the headers the list software inserts, has the address of the list. I know the correct way to get this fixed is to convince the list admin to change things but they seem adamant that this is the best way of doing things despite the fact that I get the feeling most of the4 list members don't.

Re: [exim] Change IP address in Received header

Jonny_77, 2009-07-15 10:18:
Due to privacy issues I want to change IP address of some users from the
received header to 127.0.0.1. I want to make it only for some users. I
have
found received_header_text variable, but I do not understand how to
change
this variable for defined users. Thanks.
Here's what I use:
received_header_text = Received: \
${if !def:authenticated_id \
{${if def:sender_rcvhost \
{from $sender_rcvhost\n\t} \
{${if def:sender_ident {from ${quote_local_part:$sender_ident}

${if def:received_protocol {with $received_protocol}} \
${if def:tls_cipher {($tls_cipher)\n\t}}\
(Exim $version_number)\n\t\
id $message_exim_id
The key part is the ${if !def:authenticated_id ...}, i.e. if the
sender is authenticated, the complete from ... is skipped.
You can replace the condition by some lookup and add whatever text you
want if the lookup succeeds, e.g.
received_header_text = Received: \
${lookup {$authenticated_id} lsearch {/etc/exim/users_with_hidden_ip} \
{by 127.0.0.1} \
{${if def:sender_rcvhost \

Re: [exim] SQL hostlist against a different server
2009/7/16 Ian P. Christian poo...@pookey.co.uk
Hi all,
I've noticed since 4.68 , I can use different SQL servers for
read/write, or define different servers on a per-query basis, as
coveredin the manual in 9.21/9.22 [1]
However.. I can't see how I'd query a certain server for a hostlist.
For example, how would the below be modified?
hostlist blacklist_hosts = mysql;Q_BLACKLIST_HOSTS
Like so:
hostlist blacklist_hosts = ${lookup
mysql{servers=OTHER_MYSQL_SERVER/db/username/password;Q_BLACKLIST_HOSTS}}
OTHER_MYSQL_SERVER can be defined previously for example:
OTHER_MYSQL_SERVER = 10.0.0.10/database/username/password
so you can simply use:
hostlist blacklist_hosts = ${lookup
mysql{servers=OTHER_MYSQL_SERVER;Q_BLACKLIST_HOSTS}}
hope that answers your question.

Re: [exim] Rewrite Reply-To dependent on another header
Hello Phill,
Phill Harvey-Smith phill-l...@bio.warwick.ac.uk (Do 16 Jul 2009 15:59:29
CEST):
Hi all,
...
I am a member of an email mailing list that's list owner insists on
setting the reply address back to the original sender rather than the
more conventional reply to the list.
Your're not talking about *this* list? ;-) -- I'm not sure about what is
more conventional. Both solutions have pros and cons. From my POV it's
heavily dependant on the list audience. The more qualified they (the
subscribers) are (talking about the ability to use a mail client), the
more I'd tend not to modify the Reply-To/From etc, because they are able
to differentiate betweena (r)reply and a (l)ist reply.
So what I would like to do is insert a Reply-To: header that by default
sends replies back to the list. There are other headers that I can use
to identify the list messages, so that I only re-write the correct
messages, infact one of the headers the list software inserts, has the
address of the list.
You could use a headers_add = Reply-To: ... in your transport, probably
combined
with a headers_remove = reply-to.
Here is some untested pointer.
# Macros for readability
IS_LIST = match{$h_list-id:}{exim-users}
# or this one:
# IS_LIST = def:h_list-post:
begin transports:
local_user:
...
headers_remove = ${if IS_LIST {Reply-To}}
headers_add= ${if IS_LIST
{${address:${sg{$h_list-post:}{mailto:}{}
