It starts an SMTP session through stdio, and enables 'Bcc' headers to be
turned into recipients and allows further recipients to be added on the
commandline.

Doesn't help - it's the fact that the binary is calling exim with '-bs
-t', and exim barfs with 'incompatible command-line arguments'. I can't
modify the binary (actually, I'm contemplating overwriting the '-t' in
the binary with spaces using a hex editor), so I'm trying modify exim.
