pipe_transport Type: string* Default: unset
An "aliasfile" or "forwardfile" director sets up a direct delivery
to a pipe when a string starting with a vertical bar character is
specified as a new 'address'. The transport used is specified by this
option, which, after expansion, must be the name of a configured
transport.
