NAME

       rcvdist - asynchronously receive and distribute new email

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/mh/rcvdist [-help] [-version] [-form formfile] [switches for postproc] address1
            ...

DESCRIPTION

       rcvdist accepts a message on its standard input and resends a copy of the message  to  all
       of the addresses listed on its command line.

       The  format  of the Resent-xxx header fields is specified by the form file “rcvdistcomps”.
       If a file named “rcvdistcomps” exists in the user's nmh directory, it will be used instead
       of the default file.  You may specify an alternate forms file with -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  component
       escape:

            Escape    Returns  Description
            addresses string   the addresses to distribute to

       By  default,  rcvdist  uses  the post program to deliver the message, although this can be
       changed by defining the postproc profile component.
