If "$HOSTNAME" in MailScanner.conf comes out blank, then you'll have to 
set it in the MailScanner.conf file by hand (or by your own 
install/config script or whatever of course).

Just had a look at the code, and ${KEYWORD} and $KEYWORD are translated 
into $ENV{KEYWORD}, so if $HOSTNAME is set in your environment variables 
when you start MailScanner, $HOSTNAME or ${HOSTNAME} will both work in 
your MailScanner.conf.

If you need to use some other shell variable $FOOBAR, then you can use 
any old ${FOOBAR} or $FOOBAR in MailScanner.conf as you choose.
