The system_filter_pipe_transport defines which transport is to be used when
a pipe command appears in the system filter. The command to be used is
specified in the system filter e.g.
unseen noerror pipe "/etc/exim/sophos_update"
in the system_filter will pipe the message to the command
"/etc/exim/sophos_update" in the system_filter_pipe_transport.
At least, that's my understanding of how it works...
