would it be easier to write a wrapper (installed as /usr/lib/sendmail), that
in case of "-bs -t ..." command line, takes the input from your program and
transforms it into normal bsmtp and pipes it into "exim -bS", but in case of
other arguments, just execs exim? Writing an SMTP reader and moving all the
Bcc headers into RCPT TO lines would be fairly easy, even in C, I think.
