Ah, it's all come back to me now.
Don't run PHP via mod_php. If you want security, isolation and some
semblance of control, use suEXEC and run PHP as a CGI script, or better
(for PHP at the very least, and because of its' enhanced configurability
when compared to suEXEC) use suPHP instead.
This is, of course, if you have the system resources to do so - mod_php
trades off the good things above against all but immediate code
compilation & execution through not having to fork()/exec() the
interpreter for every call.
Still, none of this is Exim related. And neither, to be honest, is the
OP's problem - it's an Apache/mod_php problem. I do wonder, however, why
we don't see similar reports with PHP and sendmail/postfix/qmail et
al...
