You think pipes in .forward files should be disallowed, then?

For a secure site?  Probably...

A pipe like that is a network service provider, open to all callers,
and written by someone who may not be skilled in writing secure programs.
It's quite reasonable to restrict their use -- as recent sendwhales do,
in fact.
