rc dist lists vs. dynamic dist lists... manual puzzle
so..
on page 66 of the rcadmin manual, it says that the layout of a distrib file is
emailaddress, burst value, $

but on page 67 it says that the layout of a dynam distrib file is
burst value, emailaddress

am i seeing things?

Good catch, hopefully the doc will get corrected.

With a Dynamic Distribution List the order does not matter. You can have either value followed by destination or destination followed by value. The doc will be updated.

so if the value of a field is user@company1.com and the destination is user@company2.com, how would ReportCaster know which is the destination and which is the user? Is it going by the required field names of VALUE and DEST so the order won't mattter?

Yes, it is going by the required fieldnames of VALUE and DEST to determine which field is the burst value and which is the destination.
