Subject: [Exim] Pipes in alias lists
I'm trying this question again -- perhaps my original question was too
verbose or too simple or too RTFM?

I have per-domain alias lists, and I'd like to have pipe commands
run the command as a specific user based on the domain name.

The current need for this is so an alias list can contain an address that
runs a command to update the domain's alias file.

I tried adding a "user" setting to the virtual_aliases director but received

D=virtual_aliases T=address_pipe: Child process of address_pipe transport
returned 69 (could mean service or program unavailable) from command:
/etc/exim/update_foo_aliases.pl

Thanks,
