My transport looks like ...

script_transport:
driver = pipe
envelope_to_add
delivery_date_add
user = userxyz
group = groupxyz
command = /scriptpath/perlscript -para1=y -para2=y -para2=n - -

The essential part in my script: read piped message from STDIN and save
it in a file ...

open( MAIL, "> $filename" );
while( <> ) { print MAIL $_; }
close( MAIL );

Now I could do whatever I want on the stored copy of the message.

Do you rely on Exim to store the message or do you read the pipe?

Cheers,
