a pipe is basically a delivery, what it does with it is up to the piped
app/script whether to resend it on or deliver it to a mailbox or whatever.

This can all be done already with exim the way it is.
ie, system filter, amavis (3rd party virus script), conditions, or even
embedded perl

READ the docs (and not just the spec and filter, but the FAQ, config
samples, etc), you will be quite surprised how powerfull exim is.
Just don't skim them, like I continually do :( and miss the important bits.
This also applies to several other questions I've seen today.
