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)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/mh-format/5/markdown).  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,  al-
       though this can be changed by defining the postproc profile component.
