Bug#270129: exim4-config: Bounces generated from rewritten email addresses should go to original mailbox.

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.34-4
Severity: normal

I am using /etc/email-addresses to make mail sent from my user keith 
have a from address of kstephen@interchange.ubc.ca.  However, if a 
bounce is generated trying to send an email, the bounce message is sent 
to kstephen@interchange.ubc.ca, rather than going directly to my local
mail file.  This creates a problem because sometimes I cannot send email 
to my own email address, causing the bounces to get stuck.  I think 
instead exim should send the bounce to my local mail file directly.
