If you are that worried about security from other processes, you should instead set up a socket for all the processes to communicate through. And if you really want to do it right, each message contains a sequence number and a secret token of some sort. Of course, this won't prevent someone with root from attaching a debugger and reverse-engineering the protocol or finding the secret token.

NAME
srs - command line interface to Mail::SRS
SYNOPSIS
srs --alias=alias@forwarder.com --secretfile=/etc/srs_secret sender@source.com
DESCRIPTION
The srs commandline interface will create an instance of Mail::SRS with parameters derived from the commandline arguments and perform
forward or reverse transformations for all addresses given.
It is usually invoked from a sendmail envelope address transformation rule, a qmail alias, or similar. See
http://www.anarres.org/projects/srs/ for examples.
Arguments take the form --name or --name=value.
ARGUMENTS
--separator
String, specified at most once. Defaults to $SRSSEP ("=").
Specify the initial separator for the SRS address. See Mail::SRS for details.
--address
String, may be specified multiple times, must be specified at least once.
Specify a sender address to transform.
--secret
String, may be specified multiple times, at least one of --secret or --secretfile must be specified.
Specify an SRS secret. The first specified secret is used for encoding. All secrets are used for decoding.
--secretfile
String, specified at most once, at least one of --secret or --secretfile must be specified.
A file to read for secrets. Secrets are specified once per line. The first specified secret is used for encoding. Secrets are written one
per line. Blank lines and lines starting with a # are ignored. If --secret is not given, then the secret file must be nonempty.
--secret will specify a primary secret and override --secretfile if both are specified. However, secrets read from --secretfile will still
be used for decoding if both are specified.
--forward
No argument.
Specifies a forwards transformation. This is the default. --reverse must not also be given.
--reverse
No argument.
Specifies a reverse transformation. --forward must not also be given.
--alias
String, must be specified exactly once if doing forwards transformation.
Provides the alias address to which the mail was sent. The domain-part of this address is used in the generated SRS address. The local-part
and @ are optional and may be omitted.
--hashlength
Integer, may be specified at most once, defaults to 4.
Specify the number of base64 characters to use for the cryptographic authentication code.
--help
Print some basic help.
