*How* are you trying to deliver to a pipe? If from a user's .forward, it
will run as the user's group. If from an alias file, you will need to
specify the user and the group either in the aliasfile director, or on
the pipe transport. If you specify a user without a group, that user's
primary group will be used. There is no default (in Exim 3) to the Exim
group.
