Julian, this has become something of a long thread...  Let me summarise
the issues..

Scott is running exim (running as user mail), however inocmd32 insists
as being run as root.  Whats more it seems to insist on being run with
both a UID and EUID of root, so simply making the binary suid (with
appropriate protection by setting up a group for inocmd32 users and
turning off everyone execute permissions) didn't work.  Using su is not
desirable because of having to a) embed a password in the wrapper script
b) the difficulty of passing a password to su anyway.

Therefore Scott is now trying to use sudo (because he can set sudo up to
not require a password from certain users for certain commands) in the
wrapper script.  However he seems to have run into an issue with which
environment variables sudo passes through to the target program.
