Hi,

I know this has been asked many times but none of my googling requests gave
a suitable answer.
I wan't to get rid of Return-Path and Sender rewriting when an email is send
via an authenticated connexion.

I guess I don't understand the goal.  Why do you want to get rid of
any auditing information that could be used to track abused accounts?
What you are asking for is the ability to change the values that a
mail server would normally insert in the headers for abuse tracking to
something that can be spoofed.  What's the use case?  What am I not
understanding?

I guess you could understand that someone setting up an smtp server with auth 
and tls for security reasons would search for user login not to be displayed in 
each email.
I guess that's why /etc/aliases exists.

For sure.

.. or why some among us use an SQL DB in Unicode so the UID:PWD need not have the slightest resemblance WHATSOEVER to an email address. Or even same native language or encoding. Exim gets the associated email, domain.tld, mailstore location, (and a great deal more), from the DB where and when needed.

The SQL part isn't required, either.

Just more flexible than simpler stuff that Exim is equally happy to use 'most of the time'. SQL being usable from essentially anywhere in Exim with identical syntax. Not always true of the many other options. And /etc/aliases in Chinese? Actually haven't tried that....
