A router redirects an address directly to a pipe command (for example, from an

-pipe command, and the &%command%& option on the transport is ignored. If only

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.
+.option force_command pipe boolean false
+.cindex "force command"

+Normally when a router redirects an address directly to a pipe command
+the &%command%& option on the transport is ignored. If &%force_command%&
+is set, the &%command%& option will used. This is especially
+useful for forcing a wrapper or additional argument to be added to the
+command. For example:
+.code
+command = /usr/bin/remote_exec myhost -- $address_pipe
+force_command
+.endd
+
+Note that &$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.
Edit &_src/drtables.c_&, adding conditional code to pull in the private header
and create a table entry as is done for all the other drivers and lookup types.

+Edit &_scripts/lookups-Makefile_& if this is a new lookup; there is a for-loop
+near the bottom, ranging the &`name_mod`& variable over a list of all lookups.
+Add your &`NEWDRIVER`& to that list.
+As long as the dynamic module would be named &_newdriver.so_&, you can use the
+simple form that most lookups have.
+.next
Edit &_Makefile_& in the appropriate sub-directory (&_src/routers_&,
&_src/transports_&, &_src/auths_&, or &_src/lookups_&); add a line for the new
driver or lookup type and add it to the definition of OBJ.
