No. The Postfix pipe(8) daemon is not a POSIX shell, nor does it

Yes, but it is probably a bad idea to record the command's output.
It should silently deliver the message, or return a <sysexits.h>
failure code and a short error message on stderr.
If you want an audit trail, syslog(3) a short one-line summary of
each audit event.
