Or:

diff --git a/uip/rcvdist.c b/uip/rcvdist.c
index f065ad1d..ee4a50f0 100644
--- a/uip/rcvdist.c

That solves Steven's immediate problem.  I added a case to
test-rcvdist to verify and can commit at any time.

Yes, that would prevent attempts to fool rcvdist with mistakes such as:

    rcvdist -server address@hidden address@hidden

But post should fail with that "server" anyway, as I would expect
most (unintentional) similar attempts.  I'm content to improve
things a small step at a time.
