I am having difficulty using slocal with my .forward and
.maildelivery files to send messages from a particular user
to a file.  It states the following:

/usr/home/scratchy/lpeters/.forward: line 1: 
"| /usr/local/lib/mh/slocal -user lpeters"  ... 
User lpeters@scratchy.hq.af.mil doesn't have a valid 
shell for mailing to programs

(actually one contiguous data stream: folded for news :)

when I try to mail to me (see attached files) from root:

---.forward---
"| /usr/local/lib/mh/slocal -user lpeters"  

---.maildelivery---
From root > A /usr/home/scratchy/lpeters/mail/test.mailing
default - > ? mailbox

Assistance appreciated.
