Hello,
Alot of people have trouble with piping and WHMCS. In order for piping to work, your forwarder must use the following with quotes, if you dont have quotes, you will get an error saying you did not enter a valid email.

"|/usr/local/bin/php -q /home/username/public_html/whmcs/pipe/pipe.php"

Now if you send a test email, and you get a bounce back saying local delivery failed, countinue reading. The reason you get that error is most likely because DirectAdmin is trying to find when it in root, which wont work because only root has access to /root. I emailed DirectAdmin and asked them, and they told be to install ioncube via custombuild, which solved the issue.

The commands to install ioncube can be found at: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=395

An important note, if you have issues with httpd not responding, you will need to rebuild httpd to fix that.
 
Pretty much common sense that something with a space would require quotes.
