When I type "rcvdist -help"
I get the message:

syntax: rcvdist [switches] [switches for postproc] address ...
  switches are:
  -(form) formfile
  -(help)

version: MH 6.5 #52[UCI] (asgard) of Tue Nov  3 07:35:47 EST 1987
options: [BSD42] [BERK] [DUMB] [MHRC] [SBACKUP='"#"'] [TTYD] [NETWORK]
         [MHE] [SENDMTS]

which leads me to believe that I could pass on  switches for
"post" through "rcvdist" (such as rcvdist -watch).  I also
noted that "post" doesnt read the profile entry.

However, when I tried
-----
[31] cat fpp | rcvdist -alias .mh_alias sharat
post: missing argument to -alias
/usr/new/lib/mh/post: Exit 1
[32] 
----- 
"post" barked as you can see.

Does anyone know how I can trick "rcvdist" or "post" to read
my alias file?  Also, any known bugs and fixes with rcvdist[6.5]? Thanks.
