I am trying to use slocal to set up some automatic mail handling
routines.  One of the things I want to do is

Subject Key-word	| A	"rsh mint command"

For some reason, this action never gets called.  I thought initially
that the rsh was just timing out and getting killed, but I did
it in a c program and forked off the rsh command, but then it didn't
appear that I could get the program to run.  The only command that has
worked is 'echo' and its built into the shell.  Any solutions?

Also, they had these two lines at the bottom of the sample 
.maildelivery file.

default -	> ? /usr/spool/mail/gfink
*	-	|	R	rcvalert

Are they necessary, or are they redundant?

Thanks for your help.
