RCVDIST(1) [nmh-1.0.4] (MH.6.8) RCVDIST(1)
NAME
rcvdist - asynchronously redistribute new mail
SYNOPSIS
/usr/freeware/lib/nmh/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(8) to do the
actual delivery of the message, although this can be changed
by defining the postproc profile component.
