RCVDIST(1)
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.
