apache is the user of mail system.

Add apache to the trusted_users line

trusted_users = whatever you have : apache

Now from the perl program you can create the mail file first into a temp
file and

exim -f senders_username@??? -t < tempfile

The tempfile would have the full mail file with all the headers or pipe
the same to exim:

.... | exim -f senders_username@???

Note that on some systems sendmail = exim ... common locations are

/usr/lib/sendmail
/usr/sbin/sendmail

etc..

Make Darn sure that this script is clean and doesn't allow someone to
modify the output or you are opening the door for spammers to abuse your
scripts.
