2) This header is _not_ added by your exim server; rather, it's added by
mta151.mail.dcn.yahoo.com when it receives the message from your server.

It looks to me like the only way to suppress the OS user name from being
included in the Received header here would be to change the
received_header_text setting. It's expanded, so you can put a
conditional in there where $sender_ident is used in the default.

http://exim.org/exim-html-4.50/doc/html/spec_14.html#IX1351

To make the conditional easier, you might want to have your php script
use -oMr when it invokes exim to set the protocol to something other
than "local".
