then the pipe transport is correct. The | is a pipe. Does mailman
provide any logs you can read? What do your exim logs show when
attempting to deliver?

the file_transport is not comming into play because the transport method
used is determined by the final destination. Since thie final
destination is a program with the | character in front of it, that tells
exim to use the pipe_transport.

It might also help if we saw your address_pipe transport.
