That works just fine, even for Exim. Thank you, Peter.

But still, the first Received: line shows the account name as the
originating host. I've tried the -oMs option, but that fails. (I'll have to
contact the server admin to see about being a "trusted caller".)

However, is there a PHP way to override the HELO/EHLO hostname that calls
Exim (just as there was an Exim way to override what goes into the
envelope's From).?
