Hi,
You might be right. The problem seems very similar to the problem we had with
exim + cvs logs in subversions: outgoing mail from lists such as uri-devel
should have a sender address:
    address@hidden
instead of the canonical:
    address@hidden

To try to fix it, I've just added the following at the end of
fencepost:/etc/exim/exim.conf

address@hidden    ${lookup{$1}lsearch{/etc/email-addresses}\
                                                {$value}fail} bcfrF

and in the file /etc/email-addresses I've put:

uri-devel:address@hidden 
uri-devel-request:address@hidden

This did not seem to have any effect, but after I did it I noticed a comment
in exim.conf that says that the same changes should be also applied to
  delysid:/usr/pkg/etc/exim/configure

The problem is that I do not have root access to delysid so I can't do it.
Can anyone give it a try?

Cheers,
Jaime
