Q: how to get tcpwrappers to mail info?

Greetings,
   I have tcpwrappers v7.6 installed and am trying to get it to
send me mail when someone telnets in. In hosts.allow the lines read:

telnetd: 128.115.2., 128.115.6., 128.115.69. [continuing with other ip's]

telnetd: 128.115., 128.15., 134.9.: spawn = (/usr/sbin/safe_finger -l _at_%h |
 /usr/bin/mail "%H-%h-%d" rnfrank_at_llnl.gov) &

(the second telnetd: line is all 1 long line)

If I execute the part of the line within the parentheses I get a
mail message. When I telnet in, however, I am expecting tcpwrappers to
mail me info with hostname and so forth but I don't get any mail.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks for the help.
