you should recompile apache with phpsuexec support.

this will tell you who it is... it will send the email as user rather than nobody.

it on the left, under software. Update Apache.

Load the previous config, and there is a check box for it.

So how did you catch him? Did you use the script from WebHostGear or what?

And another easy was to catch the spammer is by enabling the exim extended logging feature...
