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.
