It's not a hole.  It's someone trying to send mail to the email
address "| programname".  The vertical bar is odd, yes.  The space is
even more unusual, yes.  But a security hole?  No.  It would be if
qmail were to interpret the | specially, as certain versions of other
MTA's have in the past.  But qmail is neither that naive nor trusting.
