Startup script

[Julian Field]

I'm not at all convinced this will work, but give it a try:
Write a very short script that sets these variables and then calls
sendmail, something like this

#!/bin/sh
export LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libensimvwhbw.so
export ENSIMVWH_BWSVCID=1
/usr/sbin/sendmail "$@"

and then call this script in MailScanner instead of directly invoking
sendmail. You should just edit the "Sendmail =" setting in MailScanner.conf
to refer to your script instead of sendmail itself.

See what happens with this setup.
