POST(8)		      [mh.6] (MH.6.8)		       POST(8)

     NAME
	  post - deliver a message

     SYNOPSIS
	  /usr/local/lib/mh/post [-alias aliasfile]
	       [-filter	filterfile] [-nofilter]	[-format] [-noformat]
	       [-msgid]	[-nomsgid] [-verbose] [-noverbose] [-watch]
	       [-nowatch] [-width columns] file	[-help]

     DESCRIPTION
	  Post is the program called by	send (1) to deliver the
	  message in file to local and remote users.  In fact, all of
	  the functions	attributed to send on its manual page are
	  performed by post, with send acting as a relatively simple
	  preprocessor.	 Thus, it is post which	parses the various
	  header fields, appends From: and Date: lines,	and interacts
	  with the SendMail transport system.  Post will not normally
	  be called directly by	the user.

	  Post searches	the To:, cc:, Bcc:, Fcc:, 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.
	  The `-width columns' switch can be used to indicate the
	  preferred length of the header components that contain
	  addresses.

	  If a Bcc: field is encountered, its addresses	will be	used
	  for delivery,	and the	Bcc: field will	be removed from	the
	  message sent to sighted recipients.  The blind recipients
	  will receive an entirely new message with a minimal set of
	  headers.  Included in	the body of the	message	will be	a copy
	  of the message sent to the sighted recipients.  If
	  `-filter filterfile' is specified, then this copy is
	  filtered (re-formatted) prior	to being sent to the blind
	  recipients.

	  The `-alias aliasfile' switch	can be used to specify a file
	  that post should take	aliases	from.  More than one file can
	  be specified,	each being preceded with `-alias'.  In any
	  event, the primary alias file	is read	first.

	  The `-msgid' switch indicates	that a Message-ID: or
	  Resent-Message-ID:  field should be added to the header.

	  The `-verbose' switch	indicates that the user	should be
	  informed of each step	of the posting/filing process.

	  The `-watch' switch indicates	that the user would like to

	  watch	the transport system's handling	of the message (e.g.,
	  local	and fast delivery).

	  Post consults	the envariable $SIGNATURE to determine the
	  sender's personal name in constructing the From: line	of the
	  message.
