Also check you sendmail.cf to see if maybe you've disabled various people from forging their Return-Path: and if you have, alter sendmail.cf to let PHP get away with it.

You don't have to close the process if you use exec, as exec runs and finishes all in one step as far as PHP is concerned. But you'll need to cram everything for sendmail into a single line with echo and ; and whatnot to get all the email stuff to it...
