A router redirects an address directly to a pipe command (for example, from an
alias or forward file). In this case, &$address_pipe$& contains the text of the

avoids any problems with spaces or shell metacharacters, and is of use when a
&(pipe)& transport is handling groups of addresses in a batch.
+If &%force_command%& is enabled on the transport, Special handling takes place
+for an argument that consists of precisely the text &`$address_pipe`&. It
+is handled similarly to &$pipe_addresses$& above. It is expanded and each
+argument is inserted in the argument list at that point
+&'as a separate argument'&. The &`$address_pipe`& item does not need to be
+the only item in the argument; in fact, if it were then &%force_command%&
+should behave as a no-op. Rather, it should be used to adjust the command
+run while preserving the argument vector separation.

After splitting up into arguments and expansion, the resulting command is run
in a subprocess directly from the transport, &'not'& under a shell. The
message that is being delivered is supplied on the standard input, and the
frozen in Exim's queue instead.

+Normally when a router redirects an address directly to a pipe command
+the &%command%& option on the transport is ignored. If &%force_command%&

+useful for forcing a wrapper or additional argument to be added to the
+command. For example:
+.code
+command = /usr/bin/remote_exec myhost -- $address_pipe

+
+Note that &$address_pipe$& is handled specially in &%command%& when
+&%force_command%& is set, expanding out to the original argument vector as
+separate items, similarly to a Unix shell &`"$@"`& construct.

.option ignore_status pipe boolean false
If this option is true, the status returned by the subprocess that is set up to
run the command is ignored, and Exim behaves as if zero had been returned.
