If the process calling Exim runs as nobody, then it *was* nobody who sent
the mail, which is why Exim logs it that way. If that process was doing the
sending on behalf of some other user, then it should know this and should be
responsible for logging it - I presume youre getting att he cpanel header
insertion problem you had a while back, I suspect the cpanel scripts did it
that way for this very reason.
