That only means it won't set a "Sender" header.

You would also have to set exim up so that all local users sending mail
using exim -bs (say the user "mail" that you are running exim as) would
be in the trusted_users list. Which you might not want to do.

Yet another reason to run exim in daemon mode rather than trying to run
it out of inetd. I mean, inetd, for gods sake, not even xinetd or even
better, daemontools + tcpserver.
