RESEND(1)

NAME
resend - redistribute mail using the Resent- notation.

SYNOPSIS
resend [-rw] [--subargs] addresses [-t addresses] [-c addresses]

DESCRIPTION
Resend is responsible for taking as input a standard mail message, adding the various Resent- components to it, and then handing it over to submit.

The usual method of operation is to pipe a message into resend and supply on the command line the addresses to resend the message to. Aliases defined through the personal alias mechanism in send, may also be used with resend. See send(1). The default behavior can be changed by using the following flags:

-r  This specifies that error returns for this message are not wanted, if the message gets into problems with delivery, you couldn't care less.

-w  This flag enables you to follow the delivery attempt. Submit and its children will print out what they are doing.

--  Any argument starting in this manner is passed directly to submit after losing the --. You had better know what you are doing!

After the flags have been processed, the address lists for the message are built up. Normally all addresses are put onto one Resent-To: line, but they can be broken up onto several Resent-To: lines by prefixing a block of addresses with the -t flag. Alternatively the -c flag will start building up a list of Resent-Cc: addresses. Resend looks after all the other headers, such as Resent-Date, Resent-From etc.
