>From the Exim documentation:


The `pipe' transport can be used to pass all messages that require local
delivery to a separate local delivery agent such as `procmail'. When doing
this, care must be taken to ensure that the pipe is run under an
appropriate uid and gid. Typically one wants this to be a uid that is
trusted by the delivery agent to
supply the correct sender of the message. It may be necessary to recompile
or reconfigure the delivery agent so that it trusts an appropriate user.
The following is an example transport and director configuration for
`procmail': 


# transport
procmail_pipe:
  driver = pipe
  command = "/opt/local/bin/procmail -d ${local_part}"
  from_hack
  user = exim

# director
procmail:
  driver = localuser
  transport = procmail_pipe

In this example, the pipe is run as the user `exim', assuming that
`procmail'
trusts that user. Note that the command that the pipe transport runs does
not
begin with 


IFS=" "

as shown in the `procmail' documentation, because Exim does not by default
use a shell to run pipe commands.
