Symlink exim to /usr/lib/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail and 99% of scripts will
work as they always did.

If you want the users to be able to set the envelope address in their scripts
they must use the -f command line option and, you must put the user that exim
runs under in as one of your trusted users - think carefully about that one
as, spammers can use CGI too.
