Subject: [exim] Executing $run command ???

I use Exim 4.63 with Centos 5.8

I wanted to send an email from within Exim's ACLs.

Googling I found the recent posting from Lena
http://www.exim.org/lurker/message/20100323.122536.8fe8af1a.en.html

> accept authenticated = *

>      \N}\N | EXIMBINARY WARNTO"}}

and found I could get Exim to run a shell. For example this works:-

warn message = ${run{/bin/bash -c "echo $sender_helo_name
>> /eximtest;"}}


However all my attempts to feed the Exim Binary with an email message
failed:-

EXBINARY       = /usr/sbin/exim
MAILME         = user@???
SHELL          = /bin/bash


${run{SHELL -c "\N{\N echo Subject: Test Msg; echo; echo Un Deux \
      Drie Vier; \N}\N | EXBINARY MAILME"}}


I found success with PHP:-

warn message = ${run{SHELL -c "/usr/bin/php /dx/php/exim01 'SSSSS' 'test
msg AZC'"}}

<?php
$subj = $argv[1];
$mess = $argv[2];
$headers = 'From: Exim Server <.....@......com>'."\n".
           'Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1'."\n";
$to      = 'Exim Warning <.....@......com>';
mail($to,$subj,$mess,$headers,'-f .....@......com');
?>


and a nice email was produced and successfully processed by Exim.

HOWEVER, I would like to be able to use the Exim Binary as Lena did. All
ideas gratefully welcome.
