I see the other responses, which are probably the right way. But to
answer the specific technical question:
Add |/some/script as a member of the list; arrange that such
deliveries go to a script that does the touching. Or if you don't want
to have a pipe actually in the list, put an pseudo-address in the list
and route that to a pipe.
