An Exim forward file has - in a sense - two modes:
1. compatability mode
where it is essentially one line - as in sendmail:
a comma-separated list of items, the items are made up from:
"|/path/to/program"
/path/to/appended/file
another@???
or
2. Exim filter mode
The forward file must begin with the words "# Exim filter"
after which can follow lines with filter commands like:
pipe /path/to/program
save /path/to/appended/file
deliver another@???
Using "|" or "pipe" depends, therefore, on whether you're using
compatability mode or Exim filter mode.
If using exim filter mode, then you probably have to enable filtering
using the right directive in the appropriate place:
exim3: forwardfile director "filter"
exim4: redirect router "allow_filter"
Read up on "forwardfile" (or "redirect").

E-mail is easily faked. This may not be from me. Use GPG/PGP if in doubt.
