NAME

       rcvdist - asynchronously redistribute new mail

SYNOPSIS

       rcvdist [-form formfile] [switches for spost] RECIPIENT...  [-Version] [-help]

DESCRIPTION

       The  rcvdist program will accept a message on its standard input and resend a copy of this message to all
       of the addresses listed on its command line.

       When a message is redistributed with the rcvdist command, the format of the Resent-xxx header  fields  is
       controlled  by  the  forms files `rcvdistcomps'.  If a file named `rcvdistcomps' exists in the user's mmh
       directory, it will be used instead of the default one.  You may specify an alternate forms file with  the
       switch -form formfile.

       The  `rcvdistcomps'  file  uses the format string facility described in mh-format(5).  In addition to the
       standard format escapes, rcvdist also recognizes the following additional component escape:

            Escape    Returns  Description
            addresses string   the addresses to distribute to

       rcvdist uses the program spost to do the actual delivery of the message.

FILES
