[Workaround.org] alias to a pipe

Hi,

I apologize if an answer to this exists in the list somewhere, I tried
browsing through but couldn't find anything.

I'm wondering how one would go about setting up virtual aliases to pipe
into a script, in this case I'd like to do this for an Request Tracker
installation, sending support at mydomain to something like
"|/usr/share/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate --queue Support --action correspond
--url https://mydomain/tickets/"

Normally I'd have had a virtual map pointing to a system alias, and then
in /etc/aliases have that point to the pipe.

Thanks for any advice.

Ross.
