NAME


newaliases - rebuild the data base for the mail aliases file

SYNOPSIS


newaliases

DESCRIPTION


Newaliases rebuilds the random access data base for the mail aliases
file /etc/mail/aliases. It must be run each time this file is
changed in order for the change to take effect.

Newaliases is identical to ``sendmail -bi''.

The newaliases utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

Notice: do not use makemap to create the aliases data base, because
newaliases puts a special token into the data base that is required
by sendmail.

FILES


/etc/mail/aliases The mail aliases file

SEE ALSO


aliases(5), sendmail(8)

HISTORY


The newaliases command appeared in 4.0BSD.
