Title: make it possible to pass alot it's config file from a fifo

It's nice to be able to generate the alot config file on the fly and pass it via a fifo.

for example: https://raw.github.com/jakeogh/gpgmda/master/email_read

another option would be to add a second test:
stat.S_ISFIFO(os.stat(path).st_mode)
