Exim doesn't start a shell (unless explicitly specified) when using the pipe transport, but there's always a fork&exec, of course, but the impact is little on modern systems. There was a little talk a while ago that it would be very cool to have a LMTP server inside dovecot (just like Cyrus), but I think it'll take a while until Timo will have time for such things. I thought about doing it myself, when time permits, as plugin, if this is possible.
