I would point out that FC4 is 3 years old and has had no updates
(including security updates) for 2 years. Thats really not good for
an internet facing box.

If nothing is legitimately sending mail from localhost over SMTP then
you could block that off, however thats unlikely to be possible.

Setting exim to log ident information (and running a local identd) may
help isolate which user process is sending the mail. However I can
pretty much guarantee it will be running under the uid of the
webserver, and is most likely down to a PHP script.
