(1) Why is this a remote exploit? For my understanding you're running
    your exploit directly on the target machine, don't you?


(2) What is the difference to "sudo -u www touch /tmp/test"?
    If your sudo configuration doesn't allow you to run "touch", but allows 
    you to run "sendmail" with arbitrary options, then I'd see this as
    a problem of your sudo configuration, not a problem of Exim. But I
    may miss the point…
