When Exim runs a pipe, both STDOUT and STDERR are pointed at the same
file descriptor. (The manual doesn't say this. I will cause it to do so
next time round.) The return_output and return_fail_output options on
the pipe transport specify what happens to this output. There is no way
to separate what happens to STDOUT and STDERR.
