What happens after postfix pipes a message to a unix command?

Hi. We've implemented an autoreply and pipe the email
to it, but what happens is that we still see a sender
message using postqueue command. And we notice that
looking at the system processes, the autoreply is
being executed as some child process of postfix. So we
are unclear as to what is happening in postfix?
Shouldn't postfix execute the child process, but then
when the process completes, postfix should not have
any link to the child process? And shouldn't the
message in the postfix queue relating to that
autoreply be gone from the queue after piping the
message to the autoreply was sucessful? Thank you for
any help.
