Postfix absorbs stdout and stderr. There is some information in
the pipe(8) man page, but it is not complete.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Command exit status codes are expected to follow the conventions
       defined in <sysexits.h>. Exit status 0 means normal successful comple-
       tion.

       Postfix version 2.3 and later support RFC 3463-style enhanced status
       codes. If a command terminates with a non-zero exit status, and the
       command output begins with an enhanced status code, this status code
       takes precedence over the non-zero exit status.

       Problems and transactions are logged to syslogd(8). Corrupted message
       files are marked so that the queue manager can move them to the corrupt
       queue for further inspection.
