When I test Postfix with the following master.cf entry:
syslog unix - n n - - pipe
flags=FORD null_sender=uucp user=uucp argv=logger
This executes the logger command and updates logfiles as expected.
BTW, a mail handling script that ignores the envelope sender or
recipient is broken by design with 99.9999% certainty.
