rcvdist − asynchronously redistribute new mail
/usr/lib/mh/rcvdist |
[−form formfile] [switches for postproc] address1 |
... [−version] [−help]
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 |

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.
/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
rcvpack(1), rcvstore(1), rcvtty(1), mh−format(5), slocal(1)
Only two return codes are meaningful, others should be.
