- For \fIMMDF\fR, the BBoards channel delivers mail to the BBoards system.
- For \fISendMail\fR and stand\-alone \fIMH\fR, the SBBoards mailer performs
- this task.
-
- For each address given,
- these programs consult the \fIbboards\fR\0(5) file to ascertain information
- about the BBoard named by the address.
- The programs then perform local delivery, if appropriate.
- After that,
- with the exception of \fIsbboards\fR running under stand\-alone \fIMH\fR,
- the programs perform redistribution, if appropriate.
-
- For redistribution,
- the return address is set to be the request address at the local host,
- so bad addresses down the line return to the nearest point of authority.
- If any failures occur during redistribution,
- a mail message is sent to the local request address.
