In the message body have the "From:" header have the email address you
want it to be from or set the envelope sender using the -f option.
And this user (nobody) should be a trusted user as defined in the
Exim configuration:
trusted_users = nobody
(On a side note, I believe running CGIs as nobody is wrong. For example,
if multiple separate websites run CGIs they may be able to modify each
others' nobody-owned data -- as you can see "nobody" in some cases really
means "everybody". You may want to consider running the CGI as a normal
user with suEXEC or some type of CGI wrapper.)
