Try something like:

pvirtual_aliases:
        driver = aliasfile
        require_files = EXIM_DB/paliases-$domain
        file = EXIM_DB/paliases-$domain
        search_type = lsearch*
        user = exim
        file_transport = address_file
        pipe_transport = address_pipe


virtual_aliases:
        driver = aliasfile
        require_files = EXIM_DB/aliases-$domain
        file = EXIM_DB/aliases-$domain
        search_type = lsearch*
        user = exim
        file_transport = address_file
        pipe_transport = address_pipe
    forbid_pipe



That'll let you rename any alias files you want to allow pipes to, to
paliases-<domain> instead (p for pipe)... but any just called aliases-*
will not allow pipes.
