That sounds as if you have only ONE account with the ISP among the 'company' adressees that the ISP recognizes as a subscriber. If so, it would be normal that only that addressee appear in 'envelope to'. Ergo, anything short of subscribing the rest of the accounts to the ISP will remain a bit of a kludge. > For that reason getmail delivers the mails using "exim -bm > -t". The -t option makes exim to use the TO and CC headers as envelope-TO. > This actually works, but of course, the TO CC BCC fields not only contain > valid addresses for my company.

Sounds as if you need TWO Exim instances. One takes the 'raw' input from getmail, expands the To: and CC:, fowards to the second instance. The second instance, set to 'require verify = recipient' rejects those that do not belong to your firm. No stripping or re-writing needed. But you would also need errors_to = /dev/null (or yourself) on (at least) the 'up front' Exim if not both, so as to prevent backscatter non-delivery bounces for the 'To: and 'CC: that were never intended to be yours. For receiving, it should be simpler to change a DNS entry, cut out the ISP, and JFDI with one Exim, even if relaying to Exchange. *Sending* (presuming you have no PTR RR) is where you need the ISP's help.
