rcvdist

RCVDIST(1)                                                           [nmh-1.5]                                                          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.

FILES

       /etc/nmh/rcvdistcomps      Default message skeleton
       or <mh-dir>/rcvdistcomps   Rather than standard message skeleton
       /etc/nmh/mts.conf          nmh mts configuration file
       $HOME/.maildelivery        The file controlling local delivery
       /etc/nmh/maildelivery      Rather than the standard file

SEE ALSO

BUGS

       Only two return codes are meaningful, others should be.
