Exim by default will not trust any sending Users on your system (doesn't apply to mail sent via smtp). This means that any email sent as a User from a script will have the from address be set to user@server.hostname.com. If you wish to allow your Users to set the From address, and not have exim rewrite it, you can do so by setting this option:

untrusted_set_sender = *
no_local_from_check

in the top section of your exim.conf. This option is similar to the trusted_users option, except it doesn't give complete trust in the User.. it simply allows the User to set the sender as they desire.

If you're using suPhp, this can only be overridden with the use of a per-user php.ini file.
In that User's php.ini file, add the following code:

[mail function]
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f user@domain.com
