If I add the smtpname keyword in my .fetchmailrc file, I cannot get the
mail, which is automatically resent to the address I specified!
The only way to make it work is to put the domain of my Internet provider in
the local domains of my exim.conf! It is a bit too dangerous I think...

Which is exactly what I said in my first mail.

Either:
(1) you tell your machine that the domain is local to your machine, or
(2) you get fetchmail to rewrite the envelope to a domain which *is* local
to your machine

(2) is the normal, safe, and default behaviour.

If your virus scanner doesn't work in that configuration, then you need to
look at your virus scanner config (which is off-topic for here)
