How to FORWARD all the mail you already have (REDISTMAIL)
The "redistmail" program is designed to forward the contents of a
single mail folder to the given address. This uses the mh "dist"
command, so the headers will not be modified; a single Resent-To:
line will be added.
Syntax:
athena% add consult
athena% redistmail address@wherever.net foldername
Give the foldername as you would specify it to mh mail; i.e.
inbox, or /var/tmp/mymail.
Flags: -h will display this help message.
-n will cause redistmail to tell you what it would do, but not
actually send any mail.
The redistmail process will use appropriate pauses when sending so as
not to flood the mail hubs; please do not attempt to circumvent these
pauses, lest the postmasters become cranky.
Note that this only works with mh folders, not RMAIL files or Netscape
mail files or any other format.
