I'm confused to what is happening. I changed some things:
dc_other_hostnames='Orion'
So if I'm not mistaken this should cause rewriting to occur for just 
'kromagg' or 'kromagg@Orion'

However, only exim4 -brw kromagg@local2005-04-21 22:34:29 
"kromagg@localhost" from sender: rewritten as "wdesmet@yucom.be" by rule 1
  sender: wdesmet@yucom.be
2005-04-21 22:34:29 "kromagg@localhost" from from: rewritten as 
"wdesmet@yucom.be" by rule 1
    from: wdesmet@yucom.be
      to: kromagg@localhost
      cc: kromagg@localhost
     bcc: kromagg@localhost
2005-04-21 22:34:29 "kromagg@localhost" from reply-to: rewritten as 
"wdesmet@yucom.be" by rule 1
reply-to: wdesmet@yucom.be
2005-04-21 22:34:29 "kromagg@localhost" from env-from rewritten as 
"wdesmet@yucom.be" by rule 1
env-from: wdesmet@yucom.be
  env-to: kromagg@localhost
host seems to do rewriting (kromagg@Orion or just kromagg don't work)

Now, the strange thing is, when sending an email and forcing From to be 
kromagg@localhost in mutt. (I'd like to disable this feature where users 
can set their own from but just for the testing I enabled it), I get the 
following output:
2005-04-21 22:36:54 1DOiPu-0001ns-Bl "kromagg@localhost" from from:

So firstly, rewriting is not happening for the local hostname, and 
secondly even when it does work, it doesn't really. Something seems to 
be rewriting it afterwards again.
