Exim has to set the return path to something. If you don't want it to be
the login name, you have to find a way of telling Exim what you want it
to be. The two established methods are

1. Use of the -f option.
2. Use of a "From " line at the start of the message.

Exim supports both of these (for trusted users), and lots of software
uses one or the other.

What else did you have in mind?
