How about:
remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
headers_rewrite = [EMAIL PROTECTED] "{if eq{$1}{gianlucav}}\
@cacetech.com" frs
hosts_try_auth = <your_smtp_server>
return_path = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
<whatever other options you might need to add>
(Put this in your transports. There's better ways of doing this, but
just do this right quick
so that you can get some idea of what you could do.)

You're not blind, Exim is huge, especially for someone new. Might I
suggest that for your
configuration file you completely scrap that thing and start from
scratch using
whatever the manual tells you. spec.txt is your friend. I'm on my
fourth or fifth
read, but it helped.
