[comp.mail.mh] What and where is rcvalert?

dcj@jacksun.Eng.Sun.COM (Donald Clark Jackson) (05/22/91)

I am attempting to run mhook.  So far, I have simple rcvstore's
working.

I have one question after reading TFM.

The last line of the sample .maildelivery file in the mhook man page
includes the line:

	# always run rcvalert
	*	-	|	R	rcvalert

I cannot find any other reference to rcvalert in the entire mh-6.7.1
distribution.

Jerry Peek mentions rcvalert on page 429 of his book.

What is rcvalert, and where can I get a copy?
How  is rcvalert different from rcvtty?
