The users in coming mail could be stored in a file such as /var/mail/dellsh, talking that as an example then you could write a script that greps for the subject heading you ar looking for and once done use sed to change the subject heading to prevent the job being run repeatedly? You could try:

Code:
MAILFILE=/var/mail/dellhs
if [ -n "`grep StatusRequest ${MAILFILE}`" ]; then
  create_index_file
  RESULT=$?
  if [ ${RESULT} -eq 0 ]; then
    sed '/s/StatusRequest/StatusDoneRequest/' ${MAILFILE} > ${MAILFILE}.$$ && \
    cp ${MAILFILE}.$$ ${MAILFILE} && \
    rm ${MAILFILE}.$$
  fi
fi

So you'd put the above in a script and call it from cron, if there is no "StatusRequest" in the mail then it does nothing.

I don't have a machine that receives email so I cannot try it.

conflict

CONFLICT(8)							     [nmh-1.5]							       CONFLICT(8)

NAME

       conflict - search for alias/password conflicts

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/mh/conflict [-search directory] [-mail name] [-version] [-help] [aliasfiles ...]

DESCRIPTION

       Conflict is a program that checks to see if the interface between nmh and the transport system is in good shape

       Conflict also checks for maildrops in /var/mail which do not belong to a valid user.  It assumes that no user name will start with `.', and
       thus ignores files in /var/mail which begin with `.'.  It also checks for entries in the group(5) file which do not belong to a valid user,
       and for users who do not have a valid group number.  In addition duplicate users and groups are noted.

       If  the	-mail  name  switch is used, then the results will be sent to the specified name.  Otherwise, the results are sent to the standard
       output.

       The -search directory switch can be used to search directories other than /var/mail and to report  anomalies  in  those	directories.   The
       -search directory switch can appear more than one time in an invocation to conflict.

       Conflict should be run under cron(8), or whenever system accounting takes place.

FILES

       /etc/nmh/mts.conf	  nmh mts configuration file
       /etc/passwd		  List of users
       /etc/group		  List of groups
       /usr/bin/mh/mhmail	  Program to send mail
       /var/mail/		  Directory of mail drop

PROFILE COMPONENTS

       None

SEE ALSO

       mh-alias(5)

DEFAULTS

       `aliasfiles' defaults to /etc/nmh/MailAliases

CONTEXT

       None
