The user may use the -f switch to /usr/sbin/sendmail to set the
sender, but IIRC this is only possible for "trusted users". So
you'd need to set the apache-user as trusted in exim.conf.

Another way would be to use suEXEC oder another cgi-wrapper to
run the script under the uid of the user which should then
automatically set the return-path correctly to that user.
