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 -formformfile.
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:
EscapeReturnsDescription
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.
