Not necessary.
The pipe transport for exim has the options return_output and
return_fail_output. My reading of the manual suggests that you
should set
return_fail_output = yes
return_output = no
for the pipe transport that you use for majordomo related tools (or
maybe for all pipe transports).
This will set things so that messages to stdout or stderr from the
pipe will not be sent as an error if the process exits with a 0
error status.

I first noticed exactly this behavior with mhonarc.

Relativism is the triumph of authority over truth, convention over justice.
