Name
       post - deliver a message

Syntax
       /usr/lib/mh/post [ options ] file

Description
       The  program  is	 called by to deliver the message in the named file to
       local and remote users.	In fact, all of the functions attributed to on
       its  reference page are performed by with acting as a relatively simple
       pre-processor.  Thus, it is which parses	 the  various  header  fields,
       appends From: and Date: lines, and interacts with the transport system.

       Normally, would not be called directly by the user.

       It  searches  the  To:,	cc:, Bcc:, and Resent-xxx: header lines of the
       specified message for destination addresses, checks these addresses for
       validity, and formats them so as to conform to ARPAnet Internet Message
       Format protocol (unless the -noformat flag is set).  This will normally
       cause  @local-site to be appended to each local destination address, as
       well as any local return addresses.

       If a Bcc: field is encountered, the mail system will use its  addresses
       for  delivery.	The  Bcc: is removed from the message sent to original
       recipients.  The copied recipients will receive an entirely new message
       with  a minimal set of headers.	The mail system includes a copy of the
       message sent to the original recipients in the body of the message.

       This command consults the environment variable $SIGNATURE to  determine
       the  sender's  personal name in constructing the From: line of the mes‐
       sage.

Options
       -alias aliasfile
		 Specifies a file that should take aliases  from.   More  than
		 one  file  can	 be  specified,	 each  being preceded with the
		 -alias option.	 automatically consults the system alias file,
		 If there is an Aliasfile entry in your also consults the file
		 named in that entry.

       -filter filterfile
       -nofilter Filters (re-formats) messages sent to blind copy  recipients.
		 Recipients  named  in	the  Bcc: field normally receive a new
		 message which includes a copy of  the	message	 sent  to  the
		 other	recipients.  If this option is specified, this copy of
		 the message is filtered according to the instructions in  the
		 named file.  The default is -nofilter.

       -format
       -noformat Formats messages so as to conform to ARPAnet Internet Message
		 Format protocol.  This is the default behavior.  You can stop
		 from  formatting  messages in this way by using the -noformat
		 option.

       -help	 Prints a list of the valid options to this command.

       -msgid
       -nomsgid	 Adds a Message-ID: or Resent-Message-ID: field to the header.

       -mts smtp Specifies the mail system over which mail is sent.  The  only
		 value allowed is smtp, which is the standard ULTRIX mail sys‐
		 tem.  Additional values are supported only for use with other
		 mail systems.

       -verbose
       -noverbose
		 Informs the user of each step of the posting/filing process.

       -watch
       -nowatch	 Allows	 the  user to watch the transport system's handling of
		 the message (for example, local and fast delivery).

       -width columns
		 Specifies the preferred length of the header components  that
		 contain addresses.

       The default settings for are:
       -alias /usr/lib/mh/MailAliases
       -format
       -nomsgid
       -mts smtp
       -noverbose
       -nowatch
       -width 72
       -nofilter
