I doubt that. "Broken pipe" refers to the EPIPE error, which
is specifically for an attempt to write on a pipe that has no
reader. The reverse situation, reading on a pipe where the
writer has closed, gets an end-of-file indication - zero bytes
returned with no error.

So it's the transport, in Exim terms.
