From TFM:
$address_file: When, as a result of aliasing or forwarding, a message is
directed to a specific file, this variable holds the name of the file when
the transport is running. For example, using the default configuration, if
user r2d2 has a .forward file containing
/home/r2d2/savemail
then when the address_file transport is running, $address_file contains
'/home/r2d2/savemail'. At other times, the variable is empty.
Oh. You are using a *file* name to get to a *pipe*. Hmm. Have to read
the code ... type, type, type ... well, it looks as though it should
still set $address_file, though I've never tested this.
