NAME

       rcvdist - asynchronously redistribute new mail

SYNOPSIS

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

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