Pipe vs Forwarding

Good morning

I have the following situation: a machine on a local (10.0.42)
network (A) that is forwarding outgoing mail to a machine
directly connected to the internet (B). This works ok. But now I
have one situation on machine A where I don't want mail to be
forwarded to B .. and that is when I want to pipe the email to a
program. Because B is directly connected to the Internet, I have
put an alias on it like this:

test: test at A

and then on A, I have an alias:

test: "|/usr/local/bin/test"

However, when the mail gets to A, it is immediately forwarded
back to B, without being piped through the program. My guess is
that because it is setup to forward mail, that that takes
precedence over the pipe alias. Is there a configuration that I
can use to change this ie, first check if the recipient is to be
piped to a program, and then to forward the mail?

Thanks for help
