NAME

       rcvdist - asynchronously receive and distribute new email

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/mh/rcvdist [-help] [-version] [-form formfile] [switches for postproc] address1 ...

DESCRIPTION

       rcvdist accepts a message on its standard input and resends a copy of the message to all of the addresses
       listed on its command line.

       The format of the Resent-xxx header fields is specified by the form file “rcvdistcomps”.  If a file named
       “rcvdistcomps”  exists in the user's nmh directory, it will be used instead of the default file.  You may
       specify an alternate forms file with -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 component escape:

            Escape    Returns  Description
            addresses string   the addresses to distribute to

       By  default,  rcvdist  uses  the  post  program  to  deliver the message, although this can be changed by
       defining the postproc profile component.
