Thats not a simple pipe. Thats a pipe into another pipe.

> I plead ignorance. What is special about the pipe. The exim log gives:
It's not just _a_ pipe, it's two pipes.
exim does not pass the command to a shell (it's much safer that way)
so that | mail -s "test message" ... is being passed to gpg as a
command line option.
Either put it all in a script and call the script, turn on shell
handling (not advised and may not even be there in 2.*) or use
procmail or something else designed to handle things like that.
