on *nix PHP's mail() function sends email via local 
submission ( /var/lib/sendmail )

Exim's default config is to accept all local senders, but that's
easily fixed.

# in the main section:

   acl_not_smtp = acl_local

# in the ACL section:
# order of ACLs is not significant, just insert this at the head of
# that section.

acl_local:

accept 
  authenticated = root:exim
# the list here should include the username exim runs under, else
# bounce messages won't be generated successfully, and failed emails
@ will be retried indefinately..

deny


# that's all the configuration needed/

if the rogue PHP is instead opening a socket to localhost:smtp or 
localhost:submission
do also as suggested previously by others.
