                     20: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     21: For \fIMMDF\fR, the BBoards channel delivers mail to the BBoards system.
                     22: For \fISendMail\fR and stand\-alone \fIMH\fR, the SBBoards mailer performs
                     23: this task.
                     24: 
                     25: For each address given,
                     26: these programs consult the \fIbboards\fR\0(5) file to ascertain information
                     27: about the BBoard named by the address.
                     28: The programs then perform local delivery, if appropriate.
                     29: After that, 
                     30: with the exception of \fIsbboards\fR running under stand\-alone \fIMH\fR,
                     31: the programs perform redistribution, if appropriate.
                     32: 
                     33: For redistribution,
                     34: the return address is set to be the request address at the local host,
                     35: so bad addresses down the line return to the nearest point of authority.
                     36: If any failures occur during redistribution,
                     37: a mail message is sent to the local request address.
