DESCRIPTION

The rcvdist command is used to forward copies of incoming messages to other
users.  rcvdist is not designed to be run directly by the user; it is designed
to be called by /usr/lib/mh/slocal.  The rcvdist command is part of the Message
Handling (MH) package.

The rcvdist command sends a copy of the incoming message to the specified
users.  rcvdist uses the format string facility described in mh-format.  You
can run rcvdist on all incoming messages by specifying the rcvdist command in
the .maildelivery file.

FLAGS

-help           Displays help information for the command.

-form formfile  Uses the form contained in the formfile for the form of the
                reply.  rcvdist treats each line in formfile as a format
                string.

FILES
