Well, that's an option, so you don't even need to read the mighty and
intimidating Exim Specification, as that documentation is also in the
man-page.

-bS This option is used for batched SMTP input, which is an
alternative interface for non-interactive local message sub-
mission. A number of messages can be submitted in a single
run. However, despite its name, this is not really SMTP
input. Exim reads each message's envelope from SMTP commands
on the standard input, but generates no responses. If the
caller is trusted, or untrusted_set_sender is set, the
senders in the SMTP MAIL commands are believed; otherwise the
sender is always the caller of Exim.

Use "trusted_users" to declare some user to be trusted, and run the
delivery as that user.
A little more effort to read documentation for yourself would get you
much more support and help on those occasions when you do post to the
public lists.
