A more reliable way is to use pipe transport. Perhaps your config already can
process the .forward file or an "aliases" file with a router with

  driver = redirect
...
  pipe_transport = address_pipe
...

In that file write

robot: |/path/application

In this example "robot" is localpart of email address of your application.

The application will have the incoming message in stdin.
