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.
