Exim pipe outgoing emails not working

Hello, I would like to pipe all emails Exim sends through a Python script. This script will keep a database of sending behavior, and suspends outgoing email for some domains in case of abuse, using WHM API. I haven't coded such script yet, as I'm still not able to send emails from Exim through my script. I have done this in Exim Configuration Manager > Advanced Editor:
Section: ROUTESTART outgoing_processor: driver = accept condition = ${lookup {$sender_address_domain} \ lsearch {/etc/localdomains} {yes}} transport = outgoing_script unseen Section: TRANSPORTSTART outgoing_script: driver = pipe command = /usr/bin/tee -a /root/exim_spam_filter/outgoing.log
I'm using tee just to save the pipe output to a file, however it's not working. Emails are being delivered, but the pipe command is not being executed. Did I miss something?

  Hello, I see a similar custom Exim configuration referenced on the following StackOverflow thread: Mail Routing using pipe in Exim Could you let us know if the pipe output works when using the syntax referenced on that thread? Thank you.

  I know this is an old thread, but no where else on the internet could I find a solution. Here's what I worked out, in case it can help someone else here. Piping incoming and outgoing mail to a PHP script with Exim. Add this to the configuration via Exim Configuration Manager. (Advanced Editor) Section PREROUTERS support_outgoing_router: driver = accept domains = !+local_domains transport = support_transport unseen support_incoming_router: driver = accept domains = mydomain.com transport = support_transport unseen Section TRANSPORTSTART support_transport: driver = pipe user = (use FTP to find user of script) group = (use FTP to find group of script) debug_print = "T: support_transport_script for $local_part@$domain" command = /usr/local/bin/php -q /home/account/path-to-my-script.php (There's probably a way to combine the routers into one entry, but I didn't find a way to do that yet) The script is just a regular PHP file, make sure it is executable (755) and the shebang (#!.....) is not necessary.

  And to avoid your script halting emails and throwing errors to people sending email - add ignore_status before: command = /usr/local/bin/php -q /home/account/path-to-my-script.php
