It needs more than that.  Try this:

ALL : ALL EXCEPT \
	127.0.0.1 \
	: spawn ( \
/bin/echo -e "\
logs\:\
\n\
TCP Wrappers\:	Connection Refused\n\
By\:		$(uname -n)\n\
date\:		$(date)\n\
hostip\:		%a\n\
hostname\:	%h\n\
process\:	%d (pid %p)\n\
connectfrom\:	%c\n\
source\:	%h %H\n\
port\:		%d\n\
"| /bin/mail -s "Wrappers $(uname -n)\: %d refused for %c" root ) &

Modify as desired/required.  It works well.
