... that the pipe_transport option is not set in the system_aliases
driver. :-)

At a deeper level, it means that you have set up some alias to a pipe,
e.g.

something: |/some/command

but because you have not set pipe_transport on the director, Exim
doesn't know what to do with that alias.

Set

pipe_transport = address_pipe

and check that there is a transport like this

address_pipe:
  driver = pipe                              
  ignore_status       <=== check out these options are what you want
  return_output       <===
