There's a pipe for the data (ie the mail message, what you are looking at).
Where is the pipe for the COMMANDS?
Confusing RFC 821 and RFC 822 … it takes a while to understand the different 
bits they address.

Have you ever telnetted to port 25 and sent a piece of mail?
Getting that down pat might help you to understand the two spaces (commands vs 
data) that are the issue here.
Dealing with it in terms of pipes will not, because all you are seeing is the 
data, not the commands that carry the real information you are wanting to tweak.
