Documentation section 31.5 Rewriting patterns

Domains in patterns should be given in lower case. Local parts
in patterns are case-sensitive. If you want to do case-insensitive
matching of local parts, you can use a regular expression that
starts with ^(?i).

The other thing is that rewriting should not be used for routing -
that way lies madness (or a reimplementation of sendmail).

Use an alias type router - as shown in
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch22.html

If you really want to embed the local_parts involved in the main
config file then do something like:-

special_alias:
driver = redirect
domains = digadd.de
local_parts = schmidt
data = charlie@digadd.de

(untested)
