Default Remove the real name from the From: header

Hi !
I'm new to Exim... I managed to set the domain of the sender and the
Received: header but I can't figure out how to remove the real name (or to
fix it).

When I send an email the From: header is set to :
Bob Smith <bob@exemple.com>

How can I change the exim.conf file so the "Bob Smith" part is removed or
replaced by another string ?
And without using an external script (if possible)

Thanks !

Take a look at /etc/email-addresses. There you can set the From Header
of outgoing mail.

,----
| # This file contains email addresses to use for outgoing mail. Any local
| # part not in here will be qualified by the system domain as normal.
| #
| # It should contain lines of the form:
| #
| #user: someone@isp.com
| #otheruser: someoneelse@anotherisp.com
|

Greetings
