from the manual (and from various tests):

     Its two arguments are the with arguments of
     the destination address (e.g.  local!gremlin) and the user's
     mail box path (e.g.  /mail/box/gremlin/mbox)

which is at odds with filter.

i just can't see the point of handing up the destination address.

isn't the point to know who it's from?

    Filter provides simple mail filtering.  The first two argu-
    ments are the recipient's address and mailbox, that is, the
    same arguments provided to pipeto.

btw: i found out more interesting things about here docs; you had
better run ramfs _very_ early on.
