I've done a bit of testing with exim's rewrite mechanism, which should
be able to change the To: address into something else.  Unfortunately,
the something else turns out to be limited to *one* address -- for multiple
addresses, the alias mechanism is what's recommended, also when googling
for solutions to this.

I'm sure that someone with better exim-foo than I would know how to fix
this, but I (again ,:) don't know how to convince exim to do it.
