Piping e-mail to scripts is something from the past. E-mail is getting more and more "virtualized". In the past e-mail boxes were actually users on the system, which is no longer the case. As of now all mailboxes are virtual and all belong to 1 UID. As piping data means starting a script as that UID, it might have serious security implications.
If a user would be able to create his own pipe script he could start a shell as the mail server, and read mail from all users. Bad idea.
There are other ways to fix this, eg, using FAM or maybe IMAP IDLE.
