All new customers on the servers in question run under suexec. It's
quite a task to migrate non-suexec users, but we're getting there.

There is only one webserver with multiple vhosts. Running one
webserver for each of the thousands of sites on the server would
be pretty nasty I think!

You are quite correct in this - but unfortunately I have to work
with it like this for the time being.

It seems so far that my only choices are to chmod 0 the offending
scripts, if I find them!

I am still looking for the elusive, "users_not_allowed_to_call_exim_locally"
option! ;)

Thanks for your input.
