Well, if you actually showed us what's in the system_filter we might be able
to offer some help. Otherwise we can't.

It doesn't. The system_filter specifies what the pipe command is - there may
be many pipe commands in the system_filter.

This is my system_filter pipe transport:

system_filter_pipe_transport:
driver = pipe
user = exim
group = exim

A pipe command in the system filter might be:

unseen noerror pipe "/etc/exim/some_command $sender_address $recipients"
